This commit introduces several major enhancements:
1. **Experimental `config.plist` Auto-Enhancement (Linux Host for Detection):**
* `linux_hardware_info.py`: Added audio codec detection.
* `plist_modifier.py`:
* Uses detected audio codecs for more accurate `layout-id` selection.
* Expanded mappings for Intel Alder Lake iGPUs, more audio devices, and Ethernet kexts.
* Refined NVIDIA GTX 970 `boot-args` logic based on target macOS version and iGPU presence.
* Creates a `.backup` of `config.plist` before modification and attempts restore on save failure.
* Integrated into `main_app.py` with a user-selectable experimental checkbox.
2. **Reworked `README.md`:**
* Completely rewritten for "Skyscope" branding and project vision.
* Details all current features, including platform-specific USB writing (manual Windows dd step).
* Comprehensive prerequisites, including `apfs-fuse` build dependencies for Debian.
* Updated usage guide and future enhancement plans. Version set to 0.8.2.
3. **UI/UX Enhancements for Task Progress:**
* Added a QTimer-driven text-based spinner to the status bar for active operations.
* Centralized UI state management (`_set_ui_busy`, `update_all_button_states`) for consistent feedback and control enabling/disabling.
* Refactored completion/error handling into generic slots.
4. **Improved Windows USB Writing Guidance:**
* `usb_writer_windows.py` now uses `diskpart` to fetch and display the
macOS partition number and byte offset, providing more specific details
for your manual `dd` operation.
5. **Debian 13 "Trixie" Compatibility:**
* Reviewed dependencies and updated `README.md` with specific notes for
`hfsprogs` and `apfs-fuse` installation on Debian-based systems.
This set of changes makes the application more intelligent in its OpenCore
configuration attempts, improves your feedback during operations, and provides
much more comprehensive documentation, while also advancing the capabilities
of the platform-specific USB writers.
