Ship the existing Fyne launcher as an additive release asset without bundling the server or changing its runtime downloader. Pin packaging tools and the type-2 runtime, preserve the caller environment, and document the native amd64 graphics requirements. Validate packaging contracts and wire extraction smoke checks into CI. Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-5
PR builds must not receive repository write credentials. Isolate uploads in a gated job that consumes the tested artifact without checkout. Keep the existing release check and dependency on GoReleaser. A surviving process does not prove that the UI event loop works. Require observable startup progress, reject initialization errors, and bound termination. Document the remaining limits without changing the launcher application. Add permission and smoke failure regressions. Assisted-by: nib:unknown
appimagetool fails after Go compilation when file is missing. Install it explicitly in CI and document the local build dependency. Check for it before compilation and cover the missing-command failure in tests. Assisted-by: nib:unknown

Description
Package the existing Linux launcher as a thin x86_64 AppImage. The launcher continues to download LocalAI on first use; the image does not bundle the server, backends, or models.
LocalAI-Launcher-x86_64.AppImageand its checksum to version-tag releases after GoReleaser succeeds. Preserve existing release artifacts.Notes for Reviewers
Verification on the PR head:
All seven packaging tests passed. The real AppImage build and extraction/Xvfb startup smoke passed in a native amd64 Ubuntu 22.04 Docker container. Shell syntax and diff checks passed, and independent code review passed after fixes for permission isolation, smoke failure detection, and the missing
filedependency.The startup smoke checks initialization progress, writable data directories, missing libraries, and fatal errors. It does not prove UI responsiveness or model/GPU operation. Real desktop interaction and tag-triggered GitHub release upload have not been exercised. The container launch logs include a missing
dbus-launchsystray warning and a Fyne main-goroutine diagnostic atlauncher.go:550; neither fails the limited startup criteria, so tray and interactive UI behavior still need a desktop check. Support initially targets x86_64 with glibc 2.35 or newer and host graphics libraries. Worker-mode controls and launcher self-updates are outside this PR.Signed commits
