Thales Maciel 359b5fbaf4 Land milestone 4 first-run docs and media 
Make the X11 user path visible on first contact instead of burying it under config and maintainer detail.

Rewrite the README around the supported quickstart, expected tray and dictation result, install validation, troubleshooting, and linked follow-on docs. Split deep config and developer material into separate docs, add checked-in screenshots plus a short WebM walkthrough, and add a generator so the media assets stay reproducible.

Also fix the CLI discovery gap by letting `aman --help` show the top-level command surface while keeping implicit foreground `run` behavior, and align the settings, help, and about copy with the supported service-plus-diagnostics model.

Validation: `PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m unittest tests.test_aman_cli tests.test_config_ui`; `PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -p 'test_*.py'`; `python3 -m py_compile src/*.py tests/*.py scripts/generate_docs_media.py`; `PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m aman --help`.

Milestone 4 stays open in the roadmap because `docs/x11-ga/first-run-review-notes.md` still needs a real non-implementer walkthrough.

Release Checklist

This checklist covers the current portable X11 release flow and the remaining GA signoff bar. The GA signoff sections are required for v1.0.0 and later.

  1. Update CHANGELOG.md with final release notes.
  2. Bump project.version in pyproject.toml.
  3. Run quality and build gates:
    • make release-check
    • make runtime-check
    • make check-default-model
  4. Ensure model promotion artifacts are current:
    • benchmarks/results/latest.json has the latest winner_recommendation.name
    • benchmarks/model_artifacts.json contains that winner with URL + SHA256
    • make sync-default-model (if constants drifted)
  5. Build packaging artifacts:
    • make package
  6. Verify artifacts:
    • dist/*.whl
    • dist/aman-x11-linux-<version>.tar.gz
    • dist/aman-x11-linux-<version>.tar.gz.sha256
    • dist/*.deb
    • dist/arch/PKGBUILD
  7. Tag release:
    • git tag vX.Y.Z
    • git push origin vX.Y.Z
  8. Publish release and upload package artifacts from dist/.
  9. Portable bundle release signoff:
    • README.md points end users to the portable bundle first.
    • docs/portable-install.md matches the shipped install, upgrade, uninstall, and purge behavior.
    • make package-portable produces the portable tarball and checksum.
    • docs/x11-ga/portable-validation-matrix.md contains current automated evidence and release-specific manual validation entries.
  10. GA support-contract signoff (v1.0.0 and later):
  • README.md and docs/persona-and-distribution.md agree on supported environment assumptions.
  • The support matrix names X11, runtime dependency ownership, systemd --user, and the representative distro families.
  • Service mode is documented as the default daily-use path and aman run as the manual support/debug path.
  • The recovery sequence aman doctor -> aman self-check -> journalctl --user -u aman -> aman run --verbose is documented consistently.
  1. GA runtime reliability signoff (v1.0.0 and later):
  1. GA first-run UX signoff (v1.0.0 and later):
  • README.md leads with the supported first-run path and expected visible result.
  • docs/media/settings-window.png, docs/media/tray-menu.png, and docs/media/first-run-demo.webm are current and linked from the README.
  • docs/x11-ga/first-run-review-notes.md contains a non-implementer walkthrough and the questions it surfaced.
  • aman --help exposes the main command surface directly.
  1. GA validation signoff (v1.0.0 and later):
  • Validation evidence exists for Debian/Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, and openSUSE.
  • The portable installer, upgrade path, and uninstall path are validated.
  • End-user docs and release notes match the shipped artifact set.
  • Public metadata, checksums, and support/reporting surfaces are complete.
