Note

Low Risk
Packaging-only changes to build scripts and metadata; no runtime app or auth logic.

Overview
Adds x64 Linux .deb and .rpm packaging via new dist:desktop:deb and dist:desktop:rpm scripts that call build-desktop-artifact.ts with --output-dir packaging-output (also gitignored).

createBuildConfig now sets Linux distribution fields—maintainer, vendor, synopsis, syncDesktopName—for all Linux targets. .deb builds get an explicit deb.depends list (GTK, NSS, libsecret, audio, etc.) from a shared DEB_DEPENDENCIES constant.

The staged package.json used during electron-builder gets richer metadata: homepage, license, desktopName, updated description/author email. A unit test asserts deb Linux config and dependency list.

Note

Add deb and rpm npm build scripts for Linux desktop packaging

• Adds dist:desktop:deb and dist:desktop:rpm npm scripts in package.json that invoke scripts/build-desktop-artifact.ts for x64 Linux builds, outputting to packaging-output/.
• Linux build configs now include maintainer, vendor, synopsis, and syncDesktopName. For deb targets, a deb.depends list is set covering GTK, NSS, libsecret, and other required system libraries.
• The staged package.json used during builds is updated with homepage, license, desktopName, a richer description, and author email.
