What this fixes
Fixes Linux launcher startup failures where dependency checks pass but the app still crashes with missing shared libraries.
Closes #57
Root cause
The release launcher script had no package mappings for several runtime SONAMEs required by bundled ffmpeg stack:
On rolling distros (Arch), newer SONAMEs are present but older SONAMEs are absent, so launch failed even with libraries installed.
Changes
Validation summary
After patching, ldd no longer reports unresolved libs for the launcher binary on Arch and the app proceeds to GTK startup instead of exiting with missing library errors.
