* 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.
