What's Changed

Added

• Wake On LAN from GUI — Send WoL magic packets directly from the GUI (#8):
  • Right-click connection → "Wake On LAN" sends packet using configured MAC address
  • Auto-WoL before connecting: if a connection has WoL configured, a magic packet is sent automatically on connect (fire-and-forget, does not block connection)
  • Standalone WoL dialog (Menu → Tools → "Wake On LAN...") with connection picker and manual MAC entry
  • Retry with 3 packets at 500 ms intervals for reliability
  • Non-blocking: all sends run on background threads via spawn_blocking_with_callback
  • Toast notifications for success/failure

Fixed

• Flatpak libsecret Build — Fixed Flatpak build failure: disabled bash_completion in libsecret module (EROFS in sandbox)
• Flatpak libsecret Crypto Option — Fixed libsecret 0.21.7 build: renamed gcrypt option to crypto
• Thread Safety — Removed std::env::set_var calls from FreeRDP spawned thread (embedded_rdp_thread.rs); env vars (QT_LOGGING_RULES, QT_QPA_PLATFORM) are already set per-process via Command::env() in launch_freerdp(), eliminating a data race (unsafe since Rust 1.66+)
• Flatpak Machine Key — get_machine_key() now generates and persists an app-specific key file in $XDG_DATA_HOME/rustconn/.machine-key as first priority; /etc/machine-id (inaccessible in Flatpak sandbox) is now a fallback, with hostname+username as last resort
• Variables Dialog Panic — Replaced expect() on btn.root().and_downcast::<Window>() in vault load callback with if let Some(window) pattern and tracing::warn! fallback
• Keyring secret-tool Check — keyring::store() now checks is_secret_tool_available() before attempting to store; returns SecretError::BackendUnavailable with user-friendly message if secret-tool is not installed
• Flatpak CLI Paths — Secret backend CLI detection (bw, op, passbolt) no longer adds hardcoded /snap/bin/ and /usr/local/bin/ paths when running inside Flatpak; checks get_cli_install_dir() for Flatpak-installed tools instead
• Settings Dialog Performance — Moved all secret backend CLI detection (keepassxc-cli, bw, op, passbolt) and keyring auto-load operations (Bitwarden auto-unlock, 1Password token, Passbolt passphrase, KeePassXC password) from synchronous main-thread execution to background threads via glib::spawn_future; Settings dialog now opens instantly with "Detecting..." placeholders, updating widgets asynchronously when detection and keyring lookups complete (~10 s → instant)
• Settings Clients Tab Performance — Added 3-second timeout to all CLI version checks (get_version in detection.rs, get_version_with_env in clients_tab.rs) preventing slow CLIs (gcloud, az, oci) from blocking detection; parallelized all 9 zero trust CLI detections and core/zero trust groups via std::thread::scope; moved SSH agent get_status() (ssh-add -l) from GTK main thread to background thread via glib::spawn_future — total Clients tab detection time reduced from ~15 s sequential to ~3 s parallel
• Settings Dialog Instant Display — Moved dialog.present() before load_settings() in SettingsDialog::run() so the window appears immediately; all widget population and async background operations (CLI detection, keyring lookups, SSH agent status) now run after the dialog is already visible
• Settings Dialog Visual Render Blocking — Replaced glib::spawn_future_local + glib::spawn_future async pattern with std::thread::spawn + std::sync::mpsc::channel + glib::idle_add_local in all three Settings tabs (Clients, Secrets, SSH Agent); the previous pattern kept pending futures in the GTK main loop which prevented frame rendering until background tasks completed (~6 s delay); the new pattern fully decouples background work from the main loop so the dialog renders instantly while CLI detection runs in parallel
