Summary
Fixes the cross-platform WebView setup and makes the Linux release path reproducible locally and in GitHub Actions.
What changed
scripts/release-linux.sh --install-depsinstead of duplicating packaging logic.Picotado-v<version>-Linux-VST3.tar.gz,Picotado-v<version>-Linux-LV2.tar.gz, andINSTALL-Linux.md.dist/artifacts.Root cause
The editor forced JUCE's WebView2 backend unconditionally. That is correct for Windows, but Linux needs WebKitGTK and macOS needs WKWebView/default. Forcing WebView2 outside Windows can produce a blank or failed WebView even when the plugin binary builds.
Validation
scripts/release-linux.shlocally once to completion.dist/Picotado-v0.1.2-Linux-VST3.tar.gzcontainsPicotado.vst3/Contents/x86_64-linux/Picotado.so.Notes
The LV2 helper can take a long time during LTO and was given a 20 minute timeout in the Linux release script so CI fails clearly instead of hanging indefinitely.
