Subject: [PATCH] fix: use deb+AppImage only in CI, release job continues if
 build fails
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add build:linux-ci script (deb + AppImage, no snap — snapcraft not
  available on ubuntu-latest runners without extra setup)
- Switch release.yml linux build to npm run build:linux-ci
- release job: if: always() so Windows artifacts still get released
  even if linux build fails
- Download artifact steps: continue-on-error so missing platform
  doesn't block GitHub Release creation
