enki c9f73c26fa Packaging: build targets + Linux update-ping (v1.0.0)
- electron-builder: linux targets = deb, flatpak, tar.gz, pacman; win = nsis.
- updater.ts: Linux is notify-only (deb/pacman are package-manager owned,
  flatpak is sandboxed) — reads the same Codeberg feed as Windows and shows a
  "Blap X is available" desktop notification linking to HOW-TO-UPDATE.md.
  Windows/macOS keep electron-updater in-place install.
- HOW-TO-UPDATE.md: per-format update instructions.

Version stays 1.0.0.

# Updating Blap
All builds are published on the **[Blap releases page](https://codeberg.org/Enkisu/Blap/releases)**.
Grab the newest file for your platform below.
## Windows
Automatic — when a new version is out, Blap shows a **"New update"** prompt; click it and Blap
updates itself. (Or download the latest `Blap Setup X.Y.Z.exe` and run it.)
## Linux
Blap can't update itself on Linux (packages are owned by your package manager / the flatpak
sandbox), so it just **notifies** you — then you update with one command for your format:
### Flatpak (Bazzite, etc.)
Download the new `Blap-X.Y.Z-x86_64.flatpak` and:
```
flatpak install --user Blap-X.Y.Z-x86_64.flatpak
```
(installing the newer bundle upgrades the existing install)
### Debian / Ubuntu (`.deb`)
```
sudo apt install ./blap_X.Y.Z_amd64.deb
```
### Arch (`.pacman`)
```
sudo pacman -U blap-X.Y.Z.pacman
```
### Portable (`.tar.gz`)
Extract the new tarball over your existing copy and run the `blap` executable — no install needed.

_Replace `X.Y.Z` with the version from the [releases page](https://codeberg.org/Enkisu/Blap/releases)._
