Detect the native package manager at runtime (dnf vs pacman) and drive the existing native section off it, so Fedora behavior is unchanged. On pacman systems: repo updates are checked with checkupdates (pacman-contrib), which syncs to a temporary cache DB and never runs 'pacman -Sy' against the system DB (avoids a partial-upgrade state); AUR updates are listed in a separate section via the detected helper (paru preferred, yay fallback) using -Qua; update actions run 'sudo pacman -Syu' and '<helper> -Sua' (the AUR helper as the invoking user, never via sudo). The Flatpak section is hidden automatically when flatpak isn't installed. Each Proc command id is suffixed with a per-instance value so multi-monitor widget instances don't collide on the global Proc debounce key. A timed-out or errored check is shown distinctly from 'no updates available', and a hint is shown when no supported package manager is present. Adds a 'Show AUR Updates' toggle to the settings.
Update the README (intro, features, configuration, requirements) and the plugin.json description for the new native-PM detection and Arch/AUR support, and add an Unreleased changelog entry. Also correct the Flatpak update command in the features list to match the code (sudo flatpak update -y). Version number is intentionally left for the maintainer to assign.

Implements #5 — adds Arch Linux support to the widget.
What this does
The plugin now auto-detects the native package manager at runtime instead of assuming DNF:
checkupdates(frompacman-contrib).parupreferred,yayfallback) with-Qua.flatpakisn't installed.Update actions per section open a terminal and run:
sudo dnf upgrade -ysudo pacman -Syu(interactive — review the transaction)<helper> -Sua(as the invoking user, never sudo)sudo flatpak update -ySafety / correctness notes
checkupdates, which syncs to a temporary cache DB. It needs no root and does not runpacman -Syagainst the system database (which would risk a partial-upgrade state).checkupdatesexit codes are handled (0 = updates, 2 = none, other = failure); a timed-out or failed check is shown distinctly from "no updates available" instead of silently reading as up-to-date.Proc.runCommandid is suffixed per widget instance, so multi-monitor instances don't collide on the global (singleton) Proc debounce key.Settings
Adds a "Show AUR Updates" toggle (default on; ignored when no helper is installed). DNF/Flatpak settings are unchanged.
Notes
plugin.jsonversion and the changelog version are left for you to assign — there's an "Unreleased" changelog stub you can rename on release.checkupdates+ paru/yay.Happy to adjust the approach (e.g. an explicit backend setting instead of auto-detect, or folding AUR into the native section) if you'd prefer it shaped differently.
