   - Emits a transaction named `App Start` with op `app.start`, carrying the existing app start measurements and phase spans (`process.load`, `contentprovider.load`, `application.load`, activity lifecycle spans) as direct children of the root
   - The standalone transaction shares the same `traceId` as the first `ui.load` activity transaction so they remain linked in the trace view
   - Also covers non-activity starts (broadcast receivers, services, content providers)
-  - On Android 15+ (API 35), the standalone transaction reports why the OS started the process via `app.vitals.start.reason` trace data (e.g. `launcher`, `broadcast`, `service`, `content_provider`), derived from `ApplicationStartInfo.getReason()` ([#5552](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/5552))
