Fixes

  • Blank screen fixed — the renderer was crashing due to a module-level ipcMain.on() call in build-default-menu.ts that executed in the renderer process (where ipcMain is undefined). This was the root cause of the blank window with only the menu bar visible.
  • GNOME shortcut now appears — .desktop file was mode 0664 (group-writable); gio refused to trust it. Now correctly set to 0644.
  • /opt directory accessible — was packed as 0700 (root-only). Now 0755, with explicit chmod in postinst for upgrades.
  • chrome-sandbox SUID — postinst now unconditionally sets 4755 (the unshare --user heuristic was unreliable on Ubuntu 24+ where AppArmor restricts userns at runtime).

Install
