security: remove keystore files and improve signing configuration

- Remove committed keystore files (ghui.jks, v2er.jks) from repository
- Update build.gradle to gracefully handle missing keystores
  - Fall back to debug signing for local builds
  - Check for keystore existence before using
  - Require environment variables for release signing
- Add SIGNING.md documentation for signing setup
- Keystore files already excluded in .gitignore

This ensures sensitive keystore files are not in version control
and the build works both locally and in CI/CD environments.

+# Signing Configuration
+
+This document explains how to set up signing for the V2er Android app.
+
+## CI/CD Signing (GitHub Actions)
+
+The release pipeline automatically handles signing using GitHub secrets:
+
+1. **KEYSTORE_BASE64**: Base64-encoded keystore file
+2. **KEYSTORE_PASSWORD**: Password for the keystore
+3. **KEY_PASSWORD**: Password for the signing key
+4. **KEY_ALIAS**: Alias of the signing key
+
+The pipeline will:
+1. Decode the keystore from the base64 secret
+2. Place it in the correct location (`ghui.jks`)
+3. Build signed APK/AAB files
+4. Clean up the keystore file after building
+
+## Local Development
+
+For local signing, you have two options:
+
+### Option 1: Use Debug Signing (Recommended)
+Simply use the debug build variant, which uses Android's default debug keystore.
+
+```bash
+./gradlew assembleDebug
+```
+
+### Option 2: Set Up Release Signing
+1. Obtain the keystore file from the project maintainer
+2. Place it in the project root as `ghui.jks`
+3. Set environment variables:
+   ```bash
+   export GHUI_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD="your-keystore-password"
+   export GHUI_KEY_PASSWORD="your-key-password"
+   ```
+4. Build the release variant:
+   ```bash
+   ./gradlew assembleRelease
+   ```
+
+### Option 3: Use GitHub Variant
+The GitHub variant uses a test keystore with known credentials:
+- Keystore: `v2er.jks`
+- Password: `v2er.app`
+- Key alias: `v2er`
+- Key password: `v2er.app`
+
+**Note**: This should only be used for testing, not for production releases.
+
+## Security Notes
+
+- Never commit keystore files to the repository
+- Keep keystore passwords secure and never share them publicly
+- The `.gitignore` file is configured to exclude all `.jks` and `.keystore` files
+- For production releases, always use the GitHub Actions release pipeline
