- run/build/debug linux on the local machine: the app is the runtime
  executable from @nativescript/linux staged with its metadata and app/
- logs from the app's stdout/stderr, webpack HMR via SIGUSR1, DevTools on
  --inspect=<port>
- release builds packed as .tar.gz
- doctor: Linux host with GTK 4

App_Resources/Linux holds icon.png|svg, an optional app.desktop and
app.metainfo.xml (__APP_ID__, __APP_NAME__, __EXEC__) and res:// images.
Projects without it get the runtime package's defaults. Builds stage an
icon theme (icons/hicolor), <app-id>.desktop and metainfo next to the
executable; release tarballs add install.sh for ~/.local.

…atforms/linux/lib/<arch>

Plugins a plugin depends on (MasonKit's @nativescript/font-manager) were skipped: use the production
plugins, as iOS does.

Release builds pack app/ with the runtime's ns-bundle (sealed with
linux.sourceProtect / --source-protect, per-build key unless
--source-protect-key-hex or NS_LINUX_BUNDLE_KEY), unpack linux.bundleUnpack
globs, and patch the executable's fuses. Bundling failures fall back to the
plain folder; failed source protection fails the build.

…tall.sh

Values are escaped per format (desktop entry strings, quoted Exec= with %%,
XML), install.sh shell-quotes the name and fills Exec= literally, and the
app id must be a reverse-DNS name: an empty id made install.sh rm -rf the
whole XDG data dir.

Packaged files drop go-w and GNU tar stores them as root:root, so a root
extraction doesn't leave the installed app writable by the builder's uid.

argv is readable by every local user in /proc/<pid>/cmdline; tools
without $NS_BUNDLE_KEY_HEX support still get --key-hex.

The runtime only upgrades ws://127.0.0.1:<port>/<id> now; the id comes
from /json/list (older runtimes without one keep the bare URL).

Command lines show up in process lists and audit logs; tools that don't
document NS_BUNDLE_KEY_HEX in --help still get --key-hex.

ns run/debug now installs the staged <app-id>.desktop and icons into
$XDG_DATA_HOME, so the shell matches the window to the app and shows its
name and icon (dock, "not responding" dialog). Entries it didn't write,
such as one from install.sh, are left alone; release stages are skipped.

A module.modulemap in src/ or include/ is passed to the generator as is;
sources are built as the library its first `link` names. A CMakeLists.txt
replaces the built-in compile: its shared libraries are bundled and the
generator takes its flags from compile_commands.json.
