This is a dev session. The QR works while my dev server is running. For "always installed" you'd build a standalone IPA via EAS Build (~30 min, free) and sideload via TestFlight or AltStore. Easier path: I can run an EAS Update so the app is hosted on Expo's CDN permanently — open it any time via Expo Go without my server.
