Shekhar Vaidya eddf7802bb docs: note AUR publishing is blocked; add Homebrew install everywhere
Arch Linux disabled new AUR account registrations on 2026-06-15 after
a malware campaign compromised 1,500+ AUR packages. There's no
announced reopening date, so aur/msdl-bin/README.md now says so
clearly instead of implying publishing is just a pending step.

Adds the Homebrew tap install command (brew tap starkSV/msdl && brew
install msdl) to every place winget is already documented: README.md,
the release workflow's notes, the web CLI page, and the per-product
CliHandoff card. Also adds the missing linux-arm64 row to the manual
download tables.

msdl-bin (AUR)

⚠️ Publishing blocked as of 2026-07-13: Arch Linux disabled new AUR account registrations on 2026-06-15 after a malware campaign compromised 1,500+ AUR packages across several waves. There's no announced reopening date. This package is ready to publish (PKGBUILD + .SRCINFO below) the moment registration reopens — check the aur-general mailing list or aur.archlinux.org periodically. Until then, macOS/Linux users should use the Homebrew tap instead.

PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO for the msdl-bin AUR package, tracked here so version bumps have the same history/review as the winget manifests.

.SRCINFO is generated with the real makepkg tool (via an ephemeral archlinux Docker container — no VM or native Arch install needed) whenever PKGBUILD changes:

docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/pkg -w /pkg archlinux:latest bash -c "
  useradd -m builder && chown -R builder:builder /pkg &&
  pacman -Sy --noconfirm --needed base-devel &&
  su builder -c 'makepkg --printsrcinfo' > .SRCINFO
"

Publishing (requires an AUR account with an SSH key registered at aur.archlinux.org — this step can't be automated on someone else's behalf):

git clone ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/msdl-bin.git
cp PKGBUILD .SRCINFO msdl-bin/
cd msdl-bin
git add PKGBUILD .SRCINFO
git commit -m "Update to <version>"
git push
