Build Linux AppImage for both x64 and arm64 - #60
Merged
Conversation
The prepare-whisper.mjs script compiles whisper.cpp natively for the build host's architecture, so a single runner can't produce a correct multi-arch AppImage. Split the Linux release job into per-arch matrix entries (ubuntu-latest for x64, ubuntu-24.04-arm for arm64) so each AppImage bundles whisper/ffmpeg binaries matching its own architecture.

Summary
ubuntu-latestfor x64,ubuntu-24.04-armfor arm64) so each AppImage is built natively on its target architecture.electron-builder.ymlnow declares explicitx64/arm64targets for the AppImage output, with arch in the artifact filename to avoid collisions.Why
scripts/prepare-whisper.mjscompiles whisper.cpp for whatever host runs it and caches the binary;ffmpeg-staticsimilarly installs a single host-matched binary. A single runner producing both architectures in one pass would silently bundle the wrong native binaries into one of the AppImages (e.g. an x64 whisper binary inside an arm64 AppImage), causing runtime failures like "Exec format error" on ARM64 Linux hosts.Test plan
