v2.0.15+claude1.9255.0

Fixes the gear-icon / orphan-window bug from v2.0.14, a tray patch failure on the new upstream, and a crash path in Claude Code sessions. Upstream updated to Claude Desktop 1.9255.0.

Fixed

• Taskbar grouping on GNOME and KDE now works correctly. StartupWMClass set to Claude to match what Electron actually advertises via upstream's productName. The v2.0.14 value (claude-desktop) was silently ignored. Centralized from 6 hardcoded locations to 1 source of truth with a build-time assertion guard that catches upstream changes. (#655, fixes #652, ref #647, #561, discussion #653)

• Tray patch extraction fixed for upstream 1.9255.0. The old pattern broke because the minifier reshuffled variable declarations. Re-anchored on the .Tray() constructor literal, which is a stable Electron API call. (#657, fixes #656)

• Claude Code crash on corrupted sessions. .asar paths in --add-dir dispatch and session restore could cause Claude Code >=2.1.111 to fatally reject the path. This fixes a leftover from pre-#640 sessions where the corrupted state survived restore. (#650, fixes #649)

Changed

• Upstream Claude Desktop updated to 1.9255.0.
