ci: macOS and Linux portable builds#40

Add mac (.dmg + .zip, x64/arm64) and linux (AppImage, x64) targets to electron-builder alongside the existing Windows portable .exe. Convert the release workflow to a 3-OS matrix that builds each platform on its native runner, then aggregates all artifacts into one GitHub Release with a single combined SHA256SUMS.txt. Document per-platform downloads, the macOS Gatekeeper workaround, and Linux AppImage usage in the README. No native deps (node:sqlite), so each runner just bundles the matching Electron binary; no per-platform native rebuild.

.exe.mac(.dmg+.zip, x64 + arm64) andlinux(AppImage, x64) targets. Unsigned on all platforms, consistent with the current Windows stance.icon.png(512²) auto-converts to.icns.windows/macos/ubuntu), each building on its native runner behind the same typecheck/test gates.
