Spec: Voculinux — Void Linux (glibc) Wayland/niri port of Vocalinux

What to build

Voculinux itself becomes a Void package. An in-repo template in void-packages layout builds the app from the canonical, checksum-verified release source distribution, depends on Void's own interpreter, GTK, desktop bindings, and packaged Python libraries plus the two dependency templates from the earlier tickets, and installs the renamed desktop entry and icons. Speech models are not package payload. The install message tells the user what xbps cannot express: the input-group requirement for the evdev hotkey backend, models downloading on first run, optional engines being manual additions outside the guaranteed set, and one injection helper tool not yet existing for Void so that fallback rung is absent. This ticket also corrects the stale Void entries in the project's distro package inventory to match the templates, and settles how the built-in update checker behaves for packaged installs so it cannot misdirect users away from package-manager updates.

Acceptance criteria

The template passes the Void template linter, uses the renamed package name and install paths, and sources the canonical release distribution by checksum.
An offline policy test reconciles the template dependency list against the project's declared dependency ranges and the renamed install paths, and fails on drift.
The package contains no speech models and no vendored Python libraries beyond what the dependency templates provide; no pip runs at build or install time.
The install message covers the input group, first-run model download, optional-engine status, and the absent injection helper.
Update-checker behaviour for packaged installs is decided and implemented or documented on this ticket, with package-manager updates as the presented path.
The distro package inventory's Void entries match current void-packages reality (indicator library name corrected, absent tool marked absent), and generated-file consistency checks pass.
