* Add a Polish interface
- pl.tsv: the full catalog (287 rows), written clean-room from the English
labels; plurals use the same one|few|many rule as Russian.
- Registered as the seventh language: "Polski" in the picker, locales pl,
pl-PL and pl_PL.UTF-8, complete_menus = true so the completeness tests
cover it.
- tests/polish.rs: the Polish UI test, modeled on the French one.
- README and AGENTS updated for the new language.
* Add Hungarian localization and fix responsive settings layout
* i18n: add Czech (cs) interface language
Czech catalog with every key of the most complete catalog (287 rows), the
cs language entry with locale detection (cs-CZ, cs_CZ.UTF-8, ?lang=cs),
a Czech plural rule (1 / 2-4 / other) with a unit test, and the README
language list.

* i18n: add Japanese (ja) interface language
ja.tsv translates the whole interface, the tray menu and tooltip, each app's
tagline and the backend's install/update messages into Japanese, and
Settings > Language offers 日本語. Japanese locales (ja, ja-JP, ja_JP.UTF-8…)
select it; Japanese has one plural form.
Japanese is a CJK language, so cjk_font.rs now looks for a Japanese system
font (Hiragino Sans on macOS; Yu Gothic, Meiryo or MS Gothic on Windows;
Noto Sans CJK JP, Noto Sans JP, IPAGothic, Takao or VL Gothic on Linux and
FreeBSD), falling back to a Chinese one, which draws kana and most kanji,
where the system has none. The font is loaded per language, so switching
between Japanese and Chinese reloads the right face.
A fallback face is nudged onto the body font's baseline: egui puts a fallback
glyph's baseline at that face's own ascent and only centres the two line
boxes, which left a face whose metrics differ from Inter's riding high. On
Windows, Yu Gothic's line gap is half an em, so its kana and kanji sat about
0.29 em above the Latin text beside them (Microsoft YaHei, used for Chinese,
happens to match). The nudge, applied through a FontTweak, is the difference
in ascent and line height, and helps the Chinese faces too.
The README and AGENTS list the new language. Tests: the complete-catalog
checks cover ja.tsv (placeholders, plural forms, every tl! literal, taglines,
package formats), plus a locale/plural test, a Japanese glyph-coverage test,
a baseline test and tests/japanese.rs (grid, table, dates, a backend message).
* i18n: make the CJK font choice language-neutral
The CJK comments, the missing-font note and the plural-rule docs named the
languages, so each new one meant editing them all; they now say "CJK". Each
language's writing system (its `script`) now lives in the registry, and a
language is drawn only with a face for its own script — never another's,
which would leave characters as tofu — so a language the system has no font
for stays in English, like any other. Adding Korean or Traditional Chinese is
a registry row and a candidate list, not a special case.
* i18n(pl): use Polish plural rule, so 21 is "21 aplikacji"
plural_east_slavic treats 21, 31 and 101 as "one", which is right for
Russian but not Polish, where only 1 itself takes the singular.

A launcher started from the Dock, the Start menu or at login has no
terminal, and the Windows build has no console, so its log records and
panic reports were lost.
env_logger now writes each record to standard error and to
logs/artcraft-launcher.log in the launcher's data folder (portable mode
included). Each start keeps the previous two runs' logs; the file is
capped at 16 MiB. The file is opened once this is the only launcher
running, so a second start doesn't rotate the first one's log away.
Panics are reported through the logger. The default filter is now info
for the launcher's crates and warn for the rest; RUST_LOG still wins.

* Install and update Craft apps from a local mirror
Add an opt-in developer mode for installing the Craft apps from builds on
this machine instead of GitHub:
- ARTCRAFT_LAUNCHER_DOWNLOAD_BASE (loopback http only) points the launcher
at a local mirror. While set, every check reads the mirror's
release_info.json, trusts download links under the mirror, never treats
entries as stale, and never falls back to GitHub or ArtCraft's API.
- cargo xtask local sync pulls every sibling app checkout (git pull
--ff-only --recurse-submodules), packages each app whose version isn't
mirrored yet with its own packaging script, and files the results under
<mirror>/<app>/<version>/ with SHA256SUMS.txt and notes from git log.
- cargo xtask local serve serves the mirror on 127.0.0.1 (with range
requests, so paused downloads resume) and writes the feed fresh from the
mirror's contents on every request.
- cargo xtask local status compares each checkout with what's mirrored.
* Sync the local mirror on an interval while serving it
cargo xtask local serve --sync-every <30m|1h|1d…> runs the same sync as
cargo xtask local sync on a background thread, one after another, so the
mirror follows origin without a second process. Downloads keep being
served during a build, and a version only joins the feed once its build
is complete. Pulls are --no-stat to keep the server's log readable.
* Build every new commit as a dev version with --every-commit
cargo xtask local sync --every-commit (and serve --sync-every … --every-commit)
builds each new commit rather than only new versions. A commit of a 0.4.0
checkout is packaged as 0.4.1-dev.<commit time> through the app's
<APP>_VERSION override, so it orders after 0.4.0, after earlier commits,
and before the real 0.4.1. The full version lands in the bundle's
<App>Version key, which the launcher reads, so it offers each build as an
update and sees it as current once installed.
* Keep the local mirror out of release builds; parse loopback URLs strictly
ARTCRAFT_LAUNCHER_DOWNLOAD_BASE makes the launcher trust the mirror's own
checksums and skip GitHub, so a shipped launcher must not read it: it now
needs the local-mirror cargo feature (cargo run --features local-mirror),
which release builds never enable. The loopback check parsed the URL by
prefix, so http://127.0.0.1:1@evil.example/ passed; it now requires the host
to be exactly 127.0.0.1, localhost or [::1] with a numeric port. The same
check guards ARTCRAFT_LAUNCHER_FEED_URL.

* Add a French interface
fr.tsv translates the whole interface, the tray menu and tooltip, each app's
tagline and the backend's install/update messages, and Settings > Language
offers Français. fr, fr-FR, fr_CA.UTF-8 and the like select it. French counts
0 and 1 as singular, so it gets its own plural rule. tests/french.rs checks the
grid, the table, dates and a backend message.
* Rebase onto German: French last in the registry, new update strings, lowercase months
French writes month abbreviations in lower case (12 août 2026). Tests use a
never-supported tag (xx-XX) next to fr-FR.

* Add a German interface
de.tsv translates the whole interface, the tray menu and tooltip, each
app's tagline, the package formats and the backend's install/update
messages into German, and Settings > Language offers Deutsch. German
locales (de, de-DE, de-AT, de-CH, de_DE.UTF-8…) select it through Auto.
German has two plural forms (one|other), like English. Dates read
"3. Okt. 2026", relative times "vor 5 Min." / "vor 2 Tagen", and the
user is addressed with the informal "du". Product and app names stay in
English.
The locale test that used de-DE as an unsupported tag now uses fr-FR,
and new tests cover German tag matching, plurals, the date format and a
backend message.
* Test the German UI and shorten labels the table clipped
tests/german.rs picks Deutsch in Settings, checks the setting is saved,
and checks the grid, the table and the web build in German, like the
Chinese UI test. The table clipped three German labels, now shorter:
the "Installed" and "Released" columns read "Lokal" and "Datum", and
the "Available to install" status reads "Installierbar".
* Rebase onto main: translate the new update strings; use a never-supported tag in tests
xx-XX instead of fr-FR, so the test keeps meaning 'unsupported' as more
languages arrive.

* Add Linux riscv64 release build and switch runners to Ubuntu 26.04
- release.yml: new linux-riscv64 job cross-compiled on ubuntu-26.04 against
ports.ubuntu.com riscv64 libs, tar.gz only, artcraft-launcher --version
smoke-tested under QEMU. Updated flatpak runner matrix to ubuntu-26.04.
Draft-release job now requires linux-riscv64 and checks the tarball.
- packaging/linux/package.sh: CROSS_ARCH / CROSS_TARGET / CROSS_COMPILE / EMULATOR support.
- platform.rs: add Arch::Riscv64 variant, map linux-riscv64 token, and prioritize
tarball format for riscv64 on Linux.
- web.rs: detect riscv64 architecture in visitor user agent.
- README and AGENTS.md: document the riscv64 tarball.
* linux: build deb and rpm packages for riscv64
* ci: configure actionlint to recognize ubuntu-26.04 runner labels
* Keep riscv64 and Flatpak release jobs on Ubuntu 24.04
24.04 is what PhotoCraft's linux-riscv64 job uses, so the riscv64 binaries
need glibc 2.39 (as the README says) rather than 26.04's newer glibc, and
the release pipeline keeps runner images it has already proven on. Drop the
actionlint label config that 26.04 needed, revert the default_kinds and
download_kinds matches to match on the OS alone, simplify the riscv UA check,
and rustfmt.

zh-CN.tsv translates the whole interface, the tray menu and tooltip, each
app's tagline and the backend's install/update messages into Simplified
Chinese, and Settings > Language offers 简体中文. Simplified Chinese
locales (zh-CN, zh-SG, zh-Hans, zh_CN.UTF-8, a bare zh) select it; an
explicit Traditional script (zh-Hant-CN) or a Traditional region (zh-TW,
zh-HK, zh-MO) doesn't. Chinese has one plural form. The tray's menu and
tooltip now follow the interface language (Russian rows added too).
The bundled faces have no Chinese glyphs, so on the desktop the
launcher borrows the system's own Chinese font (cjk_font.rs): PingFang
(in /System/Library/Fonts on older macOS, a downloaded font asset on
newer ones), Hiragino Sans GB or Heiti on macOS; Microsoft YaHei or
SimSun on Windows; Noto Sans CJK (static or variable) or WenQuanYi on
Linux and FreeBSD. The face is picked by its family name (PingFang SC,
Noto Sans CJK SC…), regular weight, rather than a hard-coded index in
the collection. Files over 100 MB are skipped and nothing panics. The
font (PingFang is 78 MB) is read only when Chinese is the language in
use, chosen or through Auto, and then kept for the session. Until then
the picker says "Simplified Chinese", and "Simplified Chinese (简体中文)"
once the font is loaded. With no Chinese font (and on the web), the
interface stays in English and Settings explains why, instead of boxes
for every character.
Rebased onto main from the original PR (#34). Changed from the original:
- No bundled font: NotoSansSC-Regular.ttf (10.6 MB), its OFL and README,
their ATTRIBUTION and NOTICE rows and the zh-CN screenshots are left
out; the system font replaces them, as above.
- The i18n framework fixes in that PR (trim_end in the catalog tests,
the n == 1 plural fallback, 1-3 @plural forms, the registry-driven
language label) landed with the Russian catalog; this adds the
script-aware zh tag matching on top.
- zh-CN.tsv: "Verifying checksum…" mentions the checksum (正在验证校验和…),
update.check_auto keeps "automatically" (自动检查更新), "Launcher" stays
in English like the rest of the product name, rows were added for
every string main gained since, and rows for messages the launcher
never sends were dropped.
- tests/chinese.rs works with or without a system Chinese font: with
one it switches to 简体中文 and checks the grid, table, web and saved
setting; without one it checks the English fallback and the note. The
glyph-coverage test now covers the system font, when there is one.

When a newer launcher is released, the banner offers "Update and
restart": the new build is downloaded and verified like any Craft App,
put in place the way this copy was installed, and started by a small
helper once this process has exited (it holds the single-instance lock,
and Windows locks a running exe).
- macOS .app: new bundle copied from the DMG over this one, reopened
- Windows MSI (per-user): helper runs the new MSI after exit
- Windows portable: helper unzips over the folder after exit; settings stay
- Linux AppImage: new AppImage renamed over this one
- Linux .deb / .rpm: system package manager, then restart
- Flatpak, FreeBSD and dev builds keep the download link
ARTCRAFT_LAUNCHER_PRETEND_VERSION makes an installed copy act old, to try
the update against the current release. Tested: the helper waits for the
old process to exit; a real DMG replaces a bundle in place.

A native Rust/egui launcher for the 12 Craft Apps (7 classic + 5 new).
- Grid (icon cards) or sortable table view, filters and search
- Status per app: available, installed and up to date, or update
available with version and release date
- Installs where each OS keeps apps, from the official release packages:
/Applications (DMG), Program Files (MSI), deb/rpm via the system
package manager (Flatpak/AppImage fallback), /usr/local on FreeBSD
- Detects apps installed by hand; updates keep the installed format
- Every download verified against its published SHA-256; running apps
are never replaced
- Tray/menu-bar mode, start at login, one notification per new version
- GitHub API with ETag cache, falling back to release pages when
rate-limited; release source is pluggable for a future catalog API
- Web build lists latest releases with per-platform downloads
- Packaging and release workflows for macOS, Windows (x64/x86/arm64),
Linux (x86_64/aarch64), FreeBSD and web
