v0.3.4 - Fix package installation for restricted home directories

Changes

• Fixed package installation for systems with restricted home directory access
• When using pkexec (polkit) to run dnf/apt as root, the root process may not have access to files in the user's home directory (due to encrypted home dirs, SELinux policies, or other security restrictions)
• Packages are now copied to /tmp before installation, ensuring root can read the file during the install process

• Improved debug logging for troubleshooting install issues

Changes

  • deb: Uses 'apt install --reinstall' for proper updates with dependency resolution
  • rpm: Uses 'rpm -U' (upgrade) and 'dnf install --allowerasing' for smoother updates
• Added progress indicators (spinner) during install/uninstall operations
  • Shows 'Working...' with spinner in the UI
  • Buttons disabled while operations in progress
  • Toast notifications for operation start/complete
