Summary

This PR restores the Qt desktop interface on top of the current upstream master and adds manual language selection with persisted preference.

What changed

  • reintroduce the Qt6 desktop GUI and related desktop/packaging assets
  • add translation catalogs for English and Spanish
  • detect the system locale by default and allow overriding it from the settings dialog
  • persist the selected language across runs
  • ignore generated Python bytecode artifacts and remove the tracked .pyc file from the branch

Validation

  • python3 -m py_compile aur_check_qt6.py

Notes

This branch is based directly on upstream/master and contains only the GUI restoration plus the language-selection follow-up needed for the feature to work on the original repository state.

… geometry

Refactor the main Qt6 interface into tabs (Summary, Findings, History, Output) to reduce vertical scrolling and improve navigation with long content.
Add a compact header settings icon button while keeping menu-based access to Settings.
Persist and restore geometry for both the main window and the settings dialog across runs.
Keep raw output readable for long lines by disabling line wrapping in the output view.
Add/update contributor credits in the About dialog and document the UI changes in README.md.

Hey, @eduardoc25 thanks for your PR. We have since moved to Python-only implementation. Also, according to DEVELOPING.md I'd like to keep the script free from external dependencies. Can you take a look if anything from the Python stdlib would serve your GUI framework needs?

Isn't there also Qt6 for Python?
