The tarball now ships install.sh. It installs filmcraft, filmcraft-cli,
the desktop entry, icons, MIME type, metainfo and docs under ~/.local
without sudo; --prefix takes any absolute path (sudo ./install.sh
--prefix /usr/local for all users). Running it again updates.
The desktop entry's Exec/TryExec point at the installed binary's
absolute path, escaped per the Desktop Entry spec, so the menu entry
works without ~/.local/bin on PATH. The script checks the bundle is
complete before writing, refuses /, prefixes inside the extracted
bundle and characters launchers cannot express (=, %, control
characters), and treats the cache refresh tools as optional.
packaging/linux/test_install.py covers install and update, launching
through gio, bad arguments, an incomplete bundle, --help and a real
package.sh tarball build; Packaging lint runs it.

- release.yml: new `flatpak` jobs (x86_64 on ubuntu-24.04, aarch64 on ubuntu-24.04-arm) that
repackage the Linux tarball as filmcraft-<v>-linux-<arch>.flatpak, and a `freebsd` job that
builds filmcraft-<v>-freebsd-x86_64.tar.gz in a FreeBSD 14.3 VM; both feed the draft release.
- AppImages embed gh-releases-zsync update information and ship a .zsync beside them; the
Linux job checks both.
- Jobs that sign nothing (version, Linux, Flatpak, FreeBSD, web) no longer use the `release`
environment, so a dispatch on a branch dry-runs them; the signing jobs and the draft-release
job stay in the environment, so nothing is published from a branch.
- packaging/linux/flatpak-bundle.sh + bundle manifest (same runtime and finish-args as the
Flathub manifest; packaging-lint checks they agree), packaging/freebsd/package.sh (with a
--dry-run that packaging-lint runs), and a nightly FreeBSD build workflow.
- README: Downloads section listing every build; docs/releasing.md updated.
