+in the binary, so a clean build does not depend on ignored Wails-generated

+## Highlights
+
+- Fixed the Windows 10 system-tray integration: the release now embeds a real
+  multi-resolution Windows icon and runs the native tray message loop.
+- One left click on the tray icon restores and focuses Verstak. A right click
+  opens the native, localized **Show Verstak** and **Quit** menu.
+- Closing the window now hides it only after the tray is confirmed ready. If
+  the tray cannot start, the app exits normally instead of becoming unreachable.
+- Replaced the obsolete tray dependency with `fyne.io/systray`, removing the
+  AppIndicator requirement from Linux builds, Debian packages, and AppImages.
+
+## Главное
+
+- Исправлена интеграция с системным треем в Windows 10: релиз содержит
+  настоящий многомасштабный значок Windows и запускает нативный цикл сообщений
+  трея.
+- Один левый клик по значку возвращает и фокусирует Верстак. Правый клик
+  открывает нативное локализованное меню **«Показать Верстак»** и **«Выйти»**.
+- Окно скрывается только после подтверждённой готовности трея. Если трей не
+  запускается, приложение завершается обычным образом и не остаётся
+  недоступным.
+- Устаревшая зависимость трея заменена на `fyne.io/systray`; AppIndicator
+  больше не нужен для Linux-сборки, Debian-пакета и AppImage.

+## Highlights
+
+- Replaced the generic Wails image in the Linux tray and Windows application
+  resources with the current Verstak workbench icon.
+- The desktop build now generates its PNG and multi-resolution ICO resources
+  from the committed Verstak SVG before packaging, preventing a generic icon
+  from returning in a clean build.
+- The Windows ICO contains 16, 20, 24, 32, 48, and 256 pixel variants; Linux
+  uses the matching transparent PNG tray image.
+
+## Главное
+
+- Стандартный знак Wails в Linux-трее и ресурсах Windows заменён на актуальный
+  фирменный значок Верстака.
+- Перед упаковкой desktop-сборка создаёт PNG и многомасштабный ICO из SVG,
+  хранящегося в репозитории. Это не позволяет стандартному значку вернуться в
+  чистой сборке.
+- Windows ICO содержит варианты 16, 20, 24, 32, 48 и 256 пикселей; Linux
+  использует соответствующий прозрачный PNG для трея.
