v1.1.1 - Linux Launcher & Icon Theme Fixes

What's Changed in v1.1.1

🐧 Linux Launcher & System Menu Fixes

• Executable Path Fix: Resolved launch failures caused by spaces in /opt/ installation paths and desktop entry command lines.

• Ubuntu 24.04+ Compatibility: Configured --no-sandbox launching to ensure compatibility with modern restricted unprivileged user namespaces and AppArmor policies.

• Reliable Desktop Integration: Fixed desktop launcher so the application opens directly from GNOME Shell, Dash, and application menus.

• 🎨 Icon Theme Specification Compliance

• Multi-Resolution Icons: Added standard icon sets (16×16 to 512×512) compliant with the FreeDesktop hicolor icon specification.

• Resolved Generic Gear Icon: Fixed the issue where Linux desktop environments fell back to the default executable gear icon.

⚡ CI/CD Pipeline

• Automated asset publishing and update metadata delivery for Linux, Windows, and macOS.
