New self-contained desktopApp/packaging/flatpak/flathub/ directory whose
contents are copied verbatim into the flathub per-app repo at submission
time (Flathub has no separate accounts — submission is a GitHub PR):
- manifest builds from the published GH Release tarball (pinned to
v1.12.6 url + sha256 from the release asset digest) instead of the
local type:dir tree CI uses — Flathub build servers must fetch all
sources themselves
- x-checker-data (json type, is-main-source) on the archive source so
flatpak-external-data-checker auto-PRs url/sha256 bumps and metainfo
<release> entries on every new GitHub Release
- own metainfo copy carrying the permanent <releases> history Flathub
requires (the CI variant keeps injecting its entry at build time);
screenshots remain the documented submission blocker
- flathub.json restricting builds to x86_64 (no aarch64 tarball exists
and jpackage cannot cross-compile one)
Verified locally: built the flathub manifest end-to-end from the real
v1.12.6 tarball (sha256 enforced by flatpak-builder), installed it, and
booted the actual app inside the sandbox under Xvfb — UI rendered and
the embedded Tor daemon spawned.

The linux-portable release leg now wraps the createReleaseDistributable
tree it already builds into a single-file Flatpak bundle and attaches it
to the GH Release as amethyst-desktop-<version>-linux-x64.flatpak.
Packaging fixes to the existing (previously unwired) Flathub manifest:
- add the missing 512x512 icon (copy of desktopApp icon.png) and install
it under hicolor/512x512 instead of the never-present 256px path
- drop the openjdk module + sdk-extension: the jpackage tree bundles its
own trimmed JRE, so /app/jre was pure bloat
- grant --socket=x11 instead of wayland/fallback-x11: Compose Desktop
renders via AWT/skiko (X11-only on Linux, XWayland on Wayland), so
fallback-x11 left the app socketless on Wayland sessions
CI wiring:
- install flatpak tooling + the freedesktop runtime/sdk (version greped
from the manifest so the pin can't drift), retried like other fetches
- inject the AppStream <release> entry for the tagged version at build
time (the checked-in metainfo deliberately carries none)
- flatpak-builder with --disable-rofiles-fuse (GH runners) and a
--state-dir under desktopApp/build so the repo tree stays clean
- collect via the existing asset-name.sh contract (new flatpak ext)
Verified end-to-end locally: built the bundle from the manifest with a
stubbed jpackage tree, installed it, and ran the exported command inside
the sandbox (freedesktop 24.08, args forwarded through the wrapper).

amethyst-nostr does not exist in homebrew-cask yet, so bump-homebrew.yml has
had no cask to bump. Add a submission-ready reference cask (mirrors the amy.rb
convention) pinned to the v1.12.6 arm64 DMG with its verified sha256
(69882e83…). arm64-only because the release matrix builds no Intel DMG; zap
targets ~/.amethyst where the desktop app stores its data.

The AppImage build inputs (AppRun, .desktop entry, icon, and the
CI-fetched linuxdeploy binary) are consumed only by desktopApp's
createReleaseAppImage task. Co-locating them under
desktopApp/packaging/appimage/ removes the `../` path escape from the
build script and keeps all desktop packaging assets inside the module.
