scripts/cardputer-zero/build-deb.sh runs on arm64 Debian 13 (the
Cardputer itself) and makes meshterm_<version>-<revision>_arm64.deb.
MeshTerm and all its Python packages, the spi extra included, go in
/usr/lib/meshterm, compiled to bytecode. The package depends only on
python3: the store app installs a missing dependency with apt-get but
never runs apt-get update, so a Debian dependency can fail. For the
same reason the package carries Terminus beside its OFL, because an app
from the launcher has no terminal for --fetch-fonts.
packaging/notices.py gets a site-directory mode, because the walk of
the closure asks for no extras and so misses the spi packages.
scripts/cardputer-zero/store holds the listing that czdev publish reads
and a 256-pixel icon. The screenshots are still to make.

A final pass over the docstrings and comments: "the own X of Y" is now
"Y's own X" (84 places), a navigation entry is a screen on the stack, our
node is our node, a paint is a paint, the quoted UX labels are in code
font, and a list of punctuation glyphs is in code font.

The Python scripts, the packaging code, and the full-line comments of the
shell scripts. Heredocs, marker lines, licence lines, and code do not
change. The help text of type-text.py now starts with a complete STE
sentence, and uart1-mux.py now says three writes, as the code does.

The macOS installers of 0.3.3 never built: the notices step refused pyobjc-core and
pyobjc-framework-libdispatch, whose wheels ship no licence text. Their MIT text is vendored
now, and a test checks every vendored path on every platform.

The five installers bundled Cascadia's font licence and nothing else --
not MeshTerm's own LICENSE and NOTICE, not the MIT/BSD/PSF notices
Apache-2.0 and those licences all want kept with a redistributed copy.
packaging/notices.py walks the mesh-term distribution's actual runtime
dependency closure through importlib.metadata (markers evaluated for
this platform, the dev extra excluded), gathers each package's licence
text, and fails the build loudly if one is missing rather than shipping
a silent gap -- which is exactly what it found: pyserial and the nine
winrt-* packages bleak's Windows backend pulls in all declare a licence
but ship no licence file in their wheel at all. Their real text, pulled
from each project's own repository, is vendored under
packaging/vendored-licenses/ for those two documented, verified gaps;
anything else missing still stops the build.
The spec generates THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt fresh into the build
directory on every run and bundles it at the archive root alongside
LICENSE and NOTICE. installers.yml uploads the same three files once,
from the linux-x64 leg, so they land beside the downloads on the
release page too, without extracting an installer just to read them.
