Implements the Linux folder picker TODO by adding support for: - zenity (GTK-based, common on GNOME/Ubuntu/Fedora) as primary - kdialog (KDE/Plasma) as fallback The implementation: - Tries zenity first with --file-selection --directory flags - Falls back to kdialog --getexistingdirectory if zenity is not found - Returns a clear error message if neither tool is available - Handles user cancellation (exit code 1) correctly for both tools - Uses ENOENT detection to distinguish 'not installed' from real errors - Respects the same DIALOG_TIMEOUT_MS as the macOS implementation - Normalizes output (strips trailing slash) for consistency Addresses the TODO: 'linux (zenity / kdialog)'

…er picker, --no-open precedence Apply fixes from open upstream PRs that apply cleanly to our fork: - AbortSignal (nowork-studio#80, ErnestHysa): wire signal? parameter through pickFolder and pickFolderMac to execFile, enabling clean cancellation of osascript. Also extend to the new Linux execDialog helper. - Linux folder picker (nowork-studio#77, RohithVangalla1): implement pickFolderLinux using zenity (GTK) with kdialog (KDE) fallback, replacing the TODO stub. Linux users can now use the Browse button in the NotFair UI. - --no-open precedence (nowork-studio#92, Osamaali313): extract the auto-open guard in bin/notfair-content-calendar into a _should_auto_open helper that checks --no-open before platform. Fixes macOS/Windows ignoring the flag. Co-authored-by: Claude
