feat(dist): configure cargo-dist for cross-platform releases and inst…

[Shantodotdev]

Overview

Configures cargo-dist (v0.32.0) to automate cross-platform binary packaging, GitHub Releases artifact generation, and user-friendly installers across macOS, Linux, and Windows.

---

What Changes

1. Target Platforms & Architectures

Configured native builds for all major target architectures in dist-workspace.toml:

• x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (Linux x86_64)
• aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu (Linux ARM64)
• x86_64-apple-darwin (macOS Intel)
• aarch64-apple-darwin (macOS Apple Silicon)
• x86_64-pc-windows-msvc (Windows x64)

2. Multi-Platform Installers

• Shell installer (sh): Universal one-liner for Linux & macOS (curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf ... | sh).
• PowerShell installer (ps1): Native one-liner for Windows (irm ... | iex).
• Homebrew Tap: Automated formula publishing to Shantodotdev/homebrew-tap (brew install Shantodotdev/tap/seolens).
• Windows MSI Installer (msi): Full WiX toolset configuration (wix/main.wxs) with GUID-based upgrade paths and system PATH integration.

3. Release Automation & Workspace Tuning

• Added .github/workflows/release.yml for automated release orchestration when pushing version tags (v*).
• Tuned Cargo.toml with a dedicated [profile.dist] inheriting release optimizations with thin LTO.
• Added [package.metadata.dist] dist = false to src-tauri/Cargo.toml to isolate CLI binary distribution from the desktop shell.

Verification

• Cleanly rebased onto latest main.
• cargo fmt --all -- --check verified.
• cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings passed with 0 warnings.
• Workspace test suite passing.
