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.
