The `tty7` CLI was built by every release run and thrown away: all four
bundle scripts copied only `tty7-app`, and the upload glob covers `dist/`,
which the CLI never reached. Nothing put it on PATH either, so the
agent-facing half of the product was unreachable from a shipped install.
Bundle it on all four platforms, and have the GUI link it up itself rather
than hiding the step behind a menu item most people never find.
The install has two halves. The environment half prepends the CLI's
directory to this process's PATH before the daemon is spawned, so every
pane inherits it — that alone makes `tty7` work where agents actually run,
writes nothing to disk, and behaves the same everywhere. The on-disk half
symlinks into a directory already on PATH (Unix) or appends to
HKCU\Environment (Windows), and is allowed to fail.
Candidate directories are a fixed list intersected with PATH, not the first
writable entry on it: pyenv/rbenv/asdf/mise shim directories sit at the
front of PATH on many machines and are writable, and anything dropped there
is deleted on the next rehash — silently, days later.
Debug builds get the environment half only. `target/debug` holds a `tty7`
too, so otherwise a `cargo run` would repoint the developer's real `tty7`
at a debug binary, and each isolated dev-verify instance would rewrite the
PATH of the machine it is meant to stay away from.
The package name and every display name ("tty7" in menus, tray, .desktop
Name, CFBundleName, installer AppName, shortcuts) stay as they were; only
the executable file is now tty7-app / tty7-app.exe, per docs/cli-design.md.

The crate split left the root manifest leading with `version.workspace =
true`, so `grep -m1 '^version'` returned that line verbatim and the sed
fell through unchanged. Every AppImage since was named
`tty7-version.workspace = true-linux-x86_64.AppImage`, which broke the
nightly publish job at `sha256sum -c` — the space-split name resolved to
three missing files.
bundle-linux.sh, bundle-macos.sh and bundle-windows.ps1 were already
anchored on `= "`; this was the one that got missed, and the only one
without a guard to catch the miss.
* feat(release): ship a Linux AppImage alongside the tarball
The Linux release was a bare, dynamically-linked binary built on
ubuntu-latest, so it only reliably ran on Ubuntu — Fedora/Arch users hit
missing/mismatched runtime libs. Add an AppImage that bundles the
x11/wayland/xkb/fontconfig/freetype libs so it launches across distros.
- bundle-appimage.sh: linuxdeploy populates an AppDir + deps, completions
go beside the binary (usr/bin/completions, matching signature.rs's
current_exe lookup), appimagetool packs it. Runs FUSE-less on CI.
- release.yml: new "Package Linux AppImage" step after the tarball,
libfuse2/file added to the Linux deps, *.AppImage added to the upload
list. The AppImage step avoids `rm -rf dist` so the tarball survives.
- README (en + zh): recommend the AppImage, keep the tarball as the bare
fallback.
Note: glibc is not bundled, so ubuntu-latest still sets the glibc floor.
* fix(release): downscale AppImage icon to a resolution linuxdeploy accepts
linuxdeploy rejected the 1024x1024 app-icon.png (its valid list tops out at
512). Resize to 256x256 with ImageMagick's convert (added to the Linux apt
deps) before handing the icon to linuxdeploy.
