Cross-platform alpha. Scanner Manager now builds and runs on Windows,
macOS, and Linux. The Uniden vendor tools (Sentinel, BT885 Update
Manager) remain Windows-only because Uniden doesn't publish macOS /
Linux builds of them; the Uniden Tools panel now shows a clear
"Windows only" notice on other platforms instead of appearing broken.

Added

  • macOS and Linux builds. Tag-triggered release workflow now
    matrix-builds on windows-latest, macos-latest, and
    ubuntu-latest, attaching ScannerManager-windows-x64.zip,
    ScannerManager-macos.tar.gz, and ScannerManager-linux-x64.tar.gz
    (plus per-file SHA-256 sidecars) to every GitHub Release.
  • macOS .app bundle. PyInstaller spec now emits a proper
    ScannerManager.app with Info.plist (display name, version,
    removable-volume usage description). Bundle identifier:
    org.disturbedkh.scanner-manager.
  • Cross-platform file-manager opener. "Open Data Folder" now
    uses os.startfile on Windows, open on macOS, and xdg-open
    on Linux.
  • CI smoke-import check. CI now asserts every top-level module
    imports cleanly on all three OSes before running the test matrix.

Changed

  • PyInstaller spec is single-source. One packaging/scanner-manager.spec
    now branches on sys.platform to produce a Windows EXE, a macOS
    .app, or a Linux binary. Icon selection prefers icon.icns on
    macOS when present, else falls back to icon.ico.
  • Uniden Tools detection is OS-aware. _candidate_exe_paths()
    returns an empty list on non-Windows (truthfully, there's nowhere
    real to look) and normalizes path separators so the unit tests
    exercise the detection code on Linux CI runners too.
  • PyInstaller-aware state dir. When running from a frozen bundle,
    app_settings.json / MetaStore / .session.bak live next to the
    binary instead of inside _MEIPASS (which is wiped on exit).
  • Bundled resource lookup. Added bundled_resources_dir() so
    data/uniden_installers.json and data/zip_county_map_sample.json
    are read from _MEIPASS when frozen and from the checkout dir
    otherwise.
  • CI matrix extended to macOS. .github/workflows/ci.yml now
    runs on macos-latest (py3.11 + py3.12) alongside Windows and
    Ubuntu.

Fixed

  • test_detect_picks_up_installed_exe was red on Ubuntu CI. Root
    cause was hard-coded backslash separators in the Uniden installer
    relpaths plus %VAR% env expansion that only works on Windows.
    Detection now normalizes separators and reads env vars directly,
    so the same test passes on all three OSes.
