- README: the grid view (dark theme) is the main screenshot, with a
smaller table view (light theme) below it
- CI tests on Linux and Windows only: per craftrules, the org's macOS
runners are kept for release builds, and release.yml builds and checks
macOS

- The app icon (Dock, taskbar, Start menu, Linux menus, installers) is
now the black ArtCraft "A" mark, rendered unmodified from
docs/brand/artcraft-mark-black.svg by packaging/icons.sh; the old
tile icon is gone
- The app icon is an ArtCraft trademark, not MIT/Apache: say so in
assets/app-icon/, ATTRIBUTION, NOTICE, README and AGENTS.md
- Settings shows the blue mark in dark theme so it stays visible
- README: a Thanks section crediting the eleven community launchers
whose ideas shaped this one

- Small monochrome service icons (Simple Icons 16.34.0, CC0) linking to
ArtCraft's accounts, after Website · GitHub · Discord in the footer and
in Settings › Community; quieter than Discord, brighter on hover
- Settings: the community description gets its own line, so the
Website and GitHub buttons no longer overlap it
- Credit the icons in assets/social/README.md, ATTRIBUTION.md and NOTICE

- Header: the ArtCraft wordmark (white on dark, ink on light), "Launcher ·
Craft App Suite" and the tagline "Open Source Tools for Creatives,
Makers, and Builders"
- Tray / menu-bar icon is now the ArtCraft "A" mark, rendered unmodified
from docs/brand; the old self-drawn tray icons are gone
- Repo docs (NOTICE, ATTRIBUTION, README, asset licenses, AGENTS.md)
call out that the ArtCraft name, logo and mark are not MIT/Apache
- Table: "Inspired by" column; every column sorts both ways, empty cells
last; the grid's sort menu has the same options
- Adobe / Microsoft / Autodesk / Avid trademark notice under both views;
inspirations shown with ®
- Links: Discord button in the header; Website · GitHub · Discord in the
footer, tray menu and Settings; each card links to its app's website
(classic apps) and GitHub repo, and the … menu has both
- Fix links never opening: enable eframe's "links" feature
- Clear stale partial downloads at startup

Every download failed at its last read: ureq's body limit errors once
the limit is reached, and it was set to the exact file size. Sizes and
checksums are now checked by the launcher, with headroom on the limit.
- Pause keeps the partial file; Resume continues from the same byte
(HTTP range requests). Cancel discards it.
- Dropped or stalled connections retry with backoff from where they
stopped, shown as "Reconnecting…"; if the connection stays down the
download pauses itself instead of failing
- Partial downloads survive quitting and show as paused next launch
- Ask for identity encoding so bytes arrive exactly as published
- SHA-256 from GitHub's digest or SHA256SUMS.txt; a mismatch refetches
once from scratch. Releases with no checksum install with a size
check and say so; a checksum list that can't be fetched is an error
- Tests against a scripted local server for each failure mode

A native Rust/egui launcher for the 12 Craft Apps (7 classic + 5 new).
- Grid (icon cards) or sortable table view, filters and search
- Status per app: available, installed and up to date, or update
available with version and release date
- Installs where each OS keeps apps, from the official release packages:
/Applications (DMG), Program Files (MSI), deb/rpm via the system
package manager (Flatpak/AppImage fallback), /usr/local on FreeBSD
- Detects apps installed by hand; updates keep the installed format
- Every download verified against its published SHA-256; running apps
are never replaced
- Tray/menu-bar mode, start at login, one notification per new version
- GitHub API with ETag cache, falling back to release pages when
rate-limited; release source is pluggable for a future catalog API
- Web build lists latest releases with per-platform downloads
- Packaging and release workflows for macOS, Windows (x64/x86/arm64),
Linux (x86_64/aarch64), FreeBSD and web
