* fix(whisper): use bundled GPU libs and skip software Vulkan devices
AppImage 0.15.0 shipped a CPU-only pywhispercpp wheel, so the Settings
GPU picker and host vulkaninfo never moved inference off the CPU. Rebuild
pywhispercpp with Vulkan in the AppImage, log the libraries that actually
load, skip llvmpipe in auto-select, and document how to verify.
Fixes#604
* fix(appimage): pin gcc/g++ for Vulkan pywhispercpp rebuild
Hosts that default cc/c++ to clang fail CMAKE's C++ test because clang
does not search gcc's libstdc++ path. Default the rebuild to gcc/g++.
* fix(appimage): ship transitive GI typelibs for non-Debian hosts
The 0.15.0 AppImage pruned girepository down to a partial allowlist and
dropped xlib/Dbusmenu/GModule. On Ubuntu the missing typelibs fell back
to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/girepository-1.0; on openSUSE/Fedora that
path does not exist, so Gtk failed to import and startup reported
missing GTK3/AppIndicator (#585).
Keep linuxdeploy's typelib extras, seed the full transitive set, bundle
AppIndicator/Notify shared libs, and smoke-test GI imports with host
typelibs hidden.

* fix(ci): avoid libappindicator/ayatana apt conflict
Ubuntu packages libappindicator3-1 and libayatana-appindicator3-1
conflict. Rely on gir1.2-* to pull a single implementation and keep
libdbusmenu/libnotify explicit for bundling.

* fix(ci): install gir1.2-dbusmenu-glib for AppImage typelib seed
Dbusmenu-0.4 is a required transitive typelib for AppIndicator; without
the GIR package the build fails the required-typelib check.

* fix(appimage): require only one AppIndicator typelib variant
Runtime accepts AppIndicator3 or AyatanaAppIndicator3. Treat them as
alternates in the AppImage typelib check so single-stack build hosts
do not fail require_all.

* fix(appimage): prefer Ayatana after rebase onto main
Align AppImage typelib seeding and GI smoke order with main's
Ayatana-first tray preference from #621/#638.

* fix(appimage): accept lowercase AyatanaAppindicator3 typelib
Match tray_indicator.py's three-step fallback so AppImage builds and
GI smoke succeed on hosts that only ship AyatanaAppindicator3-0.1.

* fix(main): accept lowercase AyatanaAppindicator3 in dep check
Align check_dependencies with tray_indicator.py and the AppImage GI
smoke path so a lowercase-only typelib host does not fail at startup.

* fix(ui): AppImage smoke fixes for tray icons, labels, and identity
Replace placeholder mic tray SVGs with opaque branded icons, show
whisper.cpp instead of Whisper_cpp, set GLib/AppIndicator identity to
Vocalinux (not main.py), and give About dialog buttons enough padding
so labels are not clipped under Adwaita.
* fix(packaging): harden AppImage build for Wayland and tray deps
Pin the build interpreter, install onnxruntime into the bundle, set
desktop Exec=AppRun + StartupWMClass, prune typelibs to an allowlist
after linuxdeploy, and stop forcing GDK_BACKEND=x11 on Wayland
(VOCALINUX_FORCE_X11=1 remains as an escape hatch). CI AppImage jobs
also pull Ayatana AppIndicator and librsvg SVG loader packages.
* fix(packaging): bundle full stdlib from base_prefix in AppImage
When build.sh runs under a venv, sys.prefix only has site-packages, so
the AppImage was missing encodings and crashed on start. Copy the
interpreter and stdlib from sys.base_prefix, force pip
--ignore-installed into AppDir, set Gdk program class to Vocalinux, and
tone down the muted tray slash so small StatusNotifier icons stay slate.
* fix(tray): use absolute icon paths so stale hicolor icons lose
XFCE StatusNotifier resolves IconName through the system theme and can
ignore IconThemePath. A leftover ~/.local/share/icons placeholder
(vocalinux-microphone-off.svg filled #e74c3c) was winning over the
AppImage's bundled icons. Outside Flatpak, pass absolute SVG paths to
set_icon_full / new_with_path instead of bare theme names.
* feat(packaging): add self-contained AppImage build
Bundles the wheel plus PyGObject/GTK3/AppIndicator/IBus typelibs into a
relocatable x86_64 AppImage via linuxdeploy + linuxdeploy-plugin-gtk, so
users get a zero-install, no-sandbox-negotiation alternative alongside
AUR/PyPI. Wired into nightly and tagged releases, plus a smoke-test job
in the PR pipeline since AppImage/ELF bundling can't be verified on a
macOS dev machine.
* feat(packaging): add aarch64 AppImage builds
Parameterizes build.sh on uname -m instead of hardcoding x86_64 (both
linuxdeploy and appimagetool publish aarch64 continuous builds, and
pywhispercpp ships manylinux_aarch64 wheels, so no from-source compile
needed). Adds an arch matrix to the PR smoke-test job, and a second
job in nightly.yml/release.yml that builds on GitHub's free
ubuntu-24.04-arm hosted runner and attaches the aarch64 AppImage to
the same release the x86_64 job already created.
