claude-linux-desktop

Use when touching scripts/build-{deb,rpm,pacman}.sh, scripts/lib/package-common.sh, the claude-update-manager Rust crate under updater/, packaging/linux/ templates and maintainer scripts, or the /opt/claude-desktop/update-builder/ rebuild bundle. Enforces the staging-helper / REQUIRED_BUNDLE_FILES dual-update rule, the SemVer policy for the updater crate, the pkexec privilege boundary, and the maintainer-script contract across deb/rpm/pacman.

Use when adapting a new macOS Claude.dmg (or similar Electron app DMG) into the Linux pipeline in this repo, when a fresh upstream release breaks the asar patches, or when diagnosing a Claude Desktop launch failure on Linux via ~/.cache/claude-desktop/launcher.log.
