Adds a matrix to the build-linux job so the Linux .tar.gz, .deb, .rpm, and AppImage are each built for x86_64 and aarch64 (arm64), using native GitHub arm64 runners (ubuntu-24.04-arm, free for public repos) — no cross-compilation.

  • Artifacts and release assets named by arch: RustCat-linux-aarch64.deb, RustCat-2.4.0-linux-aarch64.tar.gz, RustCat-2.4.0-aarch64.AppImage, etc.
  • build_linux.sh and the AppImage step already derive arch from uname -m, so they pick up aarch64 with no script changes.
  • cargo cache key scoped by arch (runner.os-${matrix.arch}-cargo-...) so the two arches don't poison each other's native-binary caches.
  • fail-fast: false so one arch failing doesn't cancel the other.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The Linux job now runs as a matrix on x86_64 (ubuntu-latest) and aarch64
(ubuntu-24.04-arm) native runners, so the .tar.gz, .deb, .rpm, and AppImage
are each built for both architectures — no cross-compilation. Artifacts and
release assets are named by arch (x86_64 / aarch64); build_linux.sh and the
AppImage step already derive the arch from uname -m, so they pick up aarch64
automatically. The cargo cache key is scoped by arch to avoid poisoning one
arch's cache with the other's native binaries.

Code Review

This pull request updates the CHANGELOG.md file to document that Linux packages are now built for both x86_64 and aarch64 (arm64) architectures in CI using native GitHub arm64 runners, and adds a reference to the assets/rustcat.png launcher icon. There are no review comments, and I have no feedback to provide.
