* feat(snap): add Snap packaging recipe and store publish strategy
Add a strict-confinement snapcraft.yaml aligned with the current app
version and Flatpak sandbox lessons (mic, desktop, network models,
xdotool/xsel injection). Document human-only Snap Store steps and mark
install docs as not published yet.
Refs #48
* fix(snap): adopt-info so craftctl can set version from version.py
snapcraft pack failed: craftctl set version requires adopt-info on the part.
* fix(snap): stop staging GTK/GLib over the gnome platform
Prepending snap-staged GI typelibs and lib paths caused a segfault on
from gi.repository import Gtk. Use platform AppIndicator/GTK and only
stage PortAudio plus xdotool/clipboard helpers.
* docs(snap): note platform GTK path to avoid GI segfault
* fix(snap): route ALSA through Pulse so Settings does not abort
PortAudio enumerates ALSA devices when Settings opens. Missing
/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf inside the snap triggered a PortAudio assert.
Ship an asound.conf that uses the pulse plugin, stage libasound2-plugins,
and bind ALSA paths via layout.
* fix(snap): keep ALSA conf under snap/local for snapcraft
Move asound.conf out of snap/alsa so snapcraft stops warning about
non-snapcraft paths in the snap directory.
* fix(snap): request raw-input for global keyboard shortcuts
Strict confinement blocks /proc/bus/input and /dev/input, so Wayland
evdev hotkeys never start. Declare the raw-input plug (manual connect)
and print snap-specific connect instructions instead of host input-group
hints.
* fix(hotkeys): discover keyboards via evdev when /proc is blocked
Snap raw-input grants /dev/input/event* but still denies
/proc/bus/input/devices, so find_keyboard_devices() returned empty
and hotkeys never started. Fall back to evdev.list_devices() when
/proc cannot be read.
* fix(snap): restore UI sounds and prefer wtype for Wayland inject
Stage paplay (pulseaudio-utils) and wtype; teach audio_feedback about
pw-play/canberra. xdotool-only injection often hits the wrong window on
native Wayland even when it reports success.
* fix(snap): sync 0.16.2/AGPL metadata and AppImage-safe audio env
Align snapcraft fallback version and store metadata with current main
(VocaHQ URLs, AGPL-3.0), keep docs pointing at #48 on VocaHQ, pass
host_env to pw-play/canberra paths, and document ordered Snap Store
human deploy steps.
* test(snap): harden audio host_env unit test against suite pollution
Patch os.path.exists like sibling audio_feedback tests instead of relying
on a real tempfile path that can collide with other suite mocks.
* style(snap): black-format new audio and snap packaging tests
* docs(snap): treat Store listing as live; edge→candidate→stable refresh
Name vocalinux is already on snapcraft.io (edge @ 0.14.0-beta rev 6).
Document upload/release without re-register, add snap-store-refresh.sh
helper, and point INSTALL/README/DISTRO at the live listing.
* fix(snap): move to core24 and close evdev capability FDs
core22 only ships Python 3.10, which fails requires-python >=3.11, so the
snap base is now core24 (Python 3.12) with the gnome-46 platform and the
Ubuntu 24.04 libasound2t64 package. Also close InputDevice after failed
capability scans and annotate the proc parser with TextIO.
* Snap: align store listing metadata and icon
Match snapcraft.yaml summary, description, license, website, and store
icon to the live Snap Store listing.
* Snap: trim packaging docs, script, and unused SVG
Drop store refresh wrapper, long packaging README, duplicate snap/gui SVG, and speculative pw-play/canberra paths; keep recipe and confinement fixes.
* ci: publish snap to edge and candidate on release tags
* Snap: set grade stable for candidate channel CI
* Snap: skip pip PyGObject; use gnome extension GI
