+/**
+ * Wraps the main thread's `Looper.loop()` so a narrow set of known, benign
+ * framework crashes can be swallowed instead of taking the whole process down.
+ *
+ * Only one case is handled today: `IllegalArgumentException("endOffset must be
+ * greater than startOffset")` thrown from
+ * `androidx.compose.foundation.text.input.internal.LegacyCursorAnchorInfoBuilder`.
+ * It fires when the IME has requested `CURSOR_UPDATE_MONITOR` on a TextField
+ * whose visible bounds momentarily collapse to a zero-width region (during a
+ * layout transition or sheet animation): `addCharacterBounds` computes
+ * `startOffset == endOffset` and `MultiParagraph.fillBoundingBoxes` rejects
+ * the empty range. The IME just misses a cursor update — the app does not
+ * need to die.
+ *
+ * Any other Throwable propagates so the default uncaught-exception handler
+ * (and our crash report saver) still see it.
