Release v0.5.0 · YV17labs/SpecterChat

What's Changed

First release with prebuilt installers for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

macOS 11 and earlier are no longer supported. The minimum is now
macOS 12 (Monterey). Flutter 3.47 dropped support for older releases and
raised the deployment target from 10.15 to 12.0, so this is imposed
upstream rather than chosen. Users on Big Sur or older must stay on a
previous build.
The Flutter SDK floor moved to 3.47, and the Dart SDK floor to 3.8.
Contributors on older SDKs will fail at flutter pub get.

Cross-platform release pipeline producing a macOS .dmg, a Windows
installer, and a Linux .AppImage plus .deb, published to GitHub
Releases from a v* tag.
Per-platform build instructions and an application screenshot in the
README.

Upgraded to Flutter 3.47.2 across the release workflow, the DevContainer,
and the documentation.
Upgraded 81 packages, including Drift 2.34, Riverpod 3.4, mcp_dart 2.4,
and Dio 5.11.
The macOS build is a universal binary (Intel and Apple Silicon); the disk
image is named accordingly.
Linux artifacts are built on Ubuntu 22.04 so they remain usable on
Debian 12 and Ubuntu 22.04, rather than only on newer distributions.
Relicensed to MIT, with copyright attributed to Yoann Vanitou (YV17labs).
Neutralized the Qwen hallucination-correction prompt.

Thinking and reasoning content is now detected across the differing
formats emitted by llama.cpp, mlx_vlm, and OpenAI-compatible servers.
The Linux packaging step no longer fails for a missing
desktop-file-validate, and fetches appimagetool from its maintained
repository.
A fresh clone can now run flutter analyze and flutter test: the Drift
migration-test helpers are generated, not committed, and the step to
generate them was undocumented.
The DevContainer no longer runs flutter create, which rewrote the Linux
application id and broke the desktop-entry window class match.
