• Add PKGBUILD-git for building from source
• Add pictopy.install for post-install hooks
• Add .SRCINFO metadata file
• Add publish-aur.yml workflow for automatic AUR publishing
• Update build-and-release.yml to generate tar.gz for AUR
• Update tauri.conf.json to build all Linux targets (deb, rpm, appimage)
• Update README.md with AUR installation instructions
• Replace brittle sleep 30 with GitHub API polling for reliable .deb asset download

Installation

This enables Arch Linux users to install PictoPy via:

# Using yay
yay -S pictopy

# Using paru

# Using pikaur
pikaur -S pictopy
