AULA Studio 0.4.2 — Linux early access

AULA Studio is an independent, MIT-licensed native Linux configurator for the original ANSI AULA F75 in USB wired mode. This is an early-access release, not full Windows-software parity.

• Rust/Tauri/React desktop app, explicit device-free demo, read-only CLI, local profiles and local macro editor.
• Bounded wired configuration reads; reviewed, backed-up HID transactions with matching readback.
• Version 0.4.2 fixes GTK startup from a TTY when a unique trusted user-owned Wayland display is available. Ambiguous/unavailable displays return a useful error.
• Hardware evidence: owner-confirmed visible theme switching, plus a brightness 6 → 5 → 6 test with matching readback and exact restoration of all five configuration banks.
• Other write scopes, power-cycle persistence and broader hardware revisions still need physical validation. Onboard macro uploads and wireless configuration are unavailable. Original UI recreation remains unfinished.

No Windows installer, proprietary artwork, decompiler output, local hardware backups or private development history is distributed. The Linux application does not depend on REA, Ghidra, Wine or the Windows software. Development included substantial Codex assistance; maintainers remain responsible for evidence, review and testing.
