build-appimage.sh now reads the binary from CARGO_TARGET_DIR when set, so a
broad-compat build inside an old-glibc distrobox can use an isolated target
dir without clobbering the host's. README documents the Ubuntu 24.04
distrobox recipe and why older bases don't work (the pipewire crate needs
PW >= ~1.0 headers; and a PipeWire/portal app can't run on ancient distros
anyway). Resulting baseline: glibc 2.39 (the only 2.39 symbols are weak
pidfd refs from Rust std; everything else is <= 2.35).

build-appimage.sh produces pixelpass-<version>-x86_64.AppImage via
linuxdeploy. PixelPass links almost nothing (only libpipewire, which is
excludelisted) and shells out to gst-launch-1.0/pactl/a player on the host
PATH, while its GUI graphics libs are dlopen'd and also excludelisted — so
the AppImage bundles just the binary, AppRun, desktop entry, and icon
(~13 MB, zero bundled libs). The no-sandbox model lets the bundled binary
spawn the host's tools, which is why AppImage fits this orchestrator better
than Flatpak.
AppRun opens --gui when launched with no args and no controlling terminal
(file manager / .desktop), and passes through otherwise so the CLI,
interactive menu, and viewer all work. README documents the host-deps
contract + the glibc-baseline and VAAPI caveats.
Verified: builds to 13 MB; --version/--help work; the GUI launches cleanly
on a live Wayland session via both --gui and the no-tty AppRun path.

Required by the OFL for redistribution. Installs alongside the
existing MIT and Apache-2.0 license files in the Arch package.

Add LICENSE-MIT and LICENSE-APACHE (the dual license already declared in
Cargo.toml, previously absent) and install both into the package. Retarget
the PKGBUILD git source to main now that the packaging branch has merged.

Builds pixelpass 0.1.0 with --features gui from the local repo and
installs the binary, .desktop launcher, scalable icon, and README.
Runtime deps mapped from src/common/deps.rs (GStreamer pipeline +
pactl); viewers and alternate encoders are optdepends.
