* fix: resolve cross-platform EPERM permissions errors
modManager.js:
- Switch from hardcoded 'junction' to dynamic symlink type based on OS (fixing Linux EPERM).
- Add retry logic for directory removal to handle file locking race conditions.
- Improve broken symlink detection during profile sync.
gameManager.js:
- Implement retry loop (3 attempts) for game directory removal in updateGameFiles to prevent EBUSY/EPERM errors on Windows.
paths.js:
- Prevent fs.mkdirSync failure in getModsPath by pre-checking for broken symbolic links.
* fix: missing pacman builds
* Update README.md Windows Prequisites for ARM64 builds
* fix: remove broken symlink after detected
* fix: add pathexists for paths.js to check symlink
* fix: isbrokenlink should be true to remove the symlink
* add arch package .pkg.tar.zst for release
* fix: release workflow for build-arch and build-linux
* build-arch job now only build arch .pkg.tar.zst package instead of the whole generic linux.
* build-linux job now exclude .pacman package since its deprecated and should not be used.
* fix: removes pacman build as it replaced by tar.zst and adds build:arch shortcut for pkgbuild
* aur: add proper VCS (-git) PKGBUILD
created clean VCS-based PKGBUILD following arch packaging conventions.
this explicitly marked as a rolling (-git) build and derives its version dynamically from git tags and commit history via pkgver(). previous hybrid approach has been changed.
key changes:
- use -git suffix to clearly indicate rolling source builds
- set pkgver=0 and compute the actual version via pkgver()
- build only a directory layout using electron-builder (--dir)
- avoid generating AppImage, deb, rpm, or pacman installers
- align build and package steps with Arch packaging guidelines
note: this PKGBUILD is intended for development and AUR use only and is not suitable for binary redistribution or release artifacts.
* ci: add fixed-version PKGBUILD for Arch Linux releases
this PKGBUILD intended for CI and GitHub release artifacts. targets tagged releases only and uses a fixed pkgver that matches the corresponding git tag. all of the VCS logic has been removed to PKGBUILD-git to ensure reproducible builds and stable versioning suitable for binary distribution.
the build process relies on electron-builder directory output (--dir) and packages only the unpacked application into a standard Arch Linux package (.pkg.tar.zst). other distro format are excluded from this path and handled separately.
this change establishes a clear separation between:
- rolling AUR development builds (-git)
- CI-generated, versioned Arch Linux release packages
the result is predictable artifact naming, correct version alignment, and Arch-compliant packaging for downstream users.

* Bump version to 2.0.7
* Fix SHA512 checksum mismatch handling - clear cache and retry automatically
* Bump version to 2.0.8
* Bump version to 2.0.9
* Fix: Use explicit latest-linux.yml to prevent yml file collision
The glob pattern latest*.yml was matching both latest-linux.yml AND
latest.yml from the Linux build, causing the Windows latest.yml to be
overwritten with incorrect checksums.

* Bump version to 2.0.10
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix: Remove portable target to fix SHA512 checksum mismatch
The portable and nsis targets both produced x64.exe files with the same
name, causing one to overwrite the other. The latest.yml contained the
checksum from one build while the actual file was from the other build.
Removed portable target - nsis installer is sufficient.

Added a full profile system and fixed a few critical mod loading issues.
What changed
Profiles — Implemented proper profile management (create, switch, delete). Each profile now has its own isolated mod list.
Mod Isolation — Fixed ModManager so mods are strictly scoped to the active profile. Browsing and installing only affects the selected profile.
Critical Fix — Fixed a path bug where mods were being saved to ~/AppData/Local on macOS (Windows path) instead of ~/Library/Application Support. Mods now save to the correct location and load correctly in-game.
Stability — Added an auto-sync step before every launch to make sure the physical mods folder always matches the active profile.
UI — Added a profile selector dropdown and a profile management modal.
