Fix rust toolchain extraction
What changed, and why it matters
This is a one-line shell script fix that changes how the build script reads the required Rust compiler version from a configuration file. The old method could fail to extract the version correctly in some cases, potentially causing a build to use the wrong Rust toolchain. The new method is simpler and more robust. There is no direct evidence this is a security vulnerability, but build reproducibility and toolchain correctness are security-relevant for software supply-chain integrity.
Review the change as a normal build-hardening improvement. Ensure the new extraction handles all supported rust-toolchain.toml formats (e.g., unquoted channel values, comments on the same line). Consider adding validation that RUST_TOOLCHAIN is non-empty before invoking rustup. No urgent security response is indicated.

Evidence from the diff
The patch modifies scripts/repro/apk-repro-check.sh, a reproducible-build verification script for an Android APK. It replaces a sed-based extraction of the channel value from rust-toolchain.toml with a grep+cut approach. The original sed pattern required the channel line to match a specific format with optional whitespace and a quoted value; if the file format differed (e.g., extra whitespace, comments, or different quoting), extraction could fail or return an empty string, causing rustup default to receive an empty argument. The new grep uses -m1 to stop at the first match and cut -d\" -f2 to extract the quoted value. This is a robustness improvement, not a clear vulnerability fix, but it protects build reproducibility.
