Bug Fix

• Integrated terminal broken — node-pty's native pty.node was packed inside app.asar where Electron can't dlopen() native modules. Fixed build-patched-tarball.sh to use asar pack --unpack "{**/*.node,**/spawn-helper}" so Electron's loader redirects require() to app.asar.unpacked/.
• Missing spawn-helper — @electron/rebuild only builds .node modules, not executables. Added gcc build of spawn-helper from node-pty source (pure C, no Node deps). Required by pty.fork() to spawn PTY shell processes.
• All distros covered — the tarball produced by build-patched-tarball.sh is consumed by all packaging scripts (Arch PKGBUILD, Debian, RPM, AppImage, Nix) via cp -r app/*, so the fix propagates automatically.
• ARM64 + glibc-compat — updated scripts/rebuild-pty-for-arch.sh and the CI inline glibc-compat Docker rebuild step to also build and install spawn-helper alongside pty.node.
