- Remove --stats and --human-readable flags from rsync command
- These flags add overhead by generating statistics and human-readable output
- Now matches the original auto-installer.sh rsync command exactly
- Should improve copy performance by reducing processing overhead
- Maintains --progress flag for dynamic progress updates in GUI

This optimizes the system copy process to match the performance
of the original auto-installer.sh script while preserving GUI progress feedback.

- Update cleanup.sh to call autoinstaller_gui/cleanup.sh for comprehensive cleanup
- Update build.sh to automatically build AutoInstaller GUI binary after successful ISO build
- Copy the built binary to config/includes.chroot/usr/local/bin/autoinstallergui
- Ensure the GUI binary is included in the live system and accessible via .xinitrc
- Make binary executable and properly integrated into the live system
- This provides seamless integration of the GUI into the main build process

This ensures the AutoInstaller GUI is automatically built and included
in the live system whenever the main project is built, providing
users with the graphical installer option out of the box.

- Added dynamic exclude for target directory in rsync command
- Uses f'--exclude={target_mount}' to exclude the target mount point
- This prevents rsync from trying to copy the target directory into itself
- Matches the behavior of the original auto-installer.sh script
- Ensures clean system copy without recursive target directory issues

This resolves potential issues where rsync might attempt to copy
the target directory into itself during the system copy process.

- Added 'select' and 'fcntl' modules to hiddenimports in build_autoinstaller_gui.py
- These modules are used for non-blocking I/O operations in the copy_live_system method
- Ensures PyInstaller includes these standard library modules in the frozen binary
- Prevents import errors when running the frozen AutoInstaller GUI binary
- Required for dynamic progress updates during system copy process

This ensures the PyInstaller frozen binary has all necessary modules
for the enhanced copy progress functionality with non-blocking I/O.

- Removed local import of 'time' module in copy_live_system method
- This was the third instance of the same variable shadowing issue
- Local import was creating a variable that shadowed the globally imported module
- This caused UnboundLocalError when trying to access time.sleep(0.01) during system copy
- Now uses the globally imported time module correctly
- System copy process should now complete without variable scoping errors

This completely resolves all UnboundLocalError issues in the AutoInstaller GUI
by ensuring no local imports shadow the globally imported time module anywhere in the code.

- Removed second local import of 'time' module in scan_and_select_best_wifi method
- This was another instance of the same variable shadowing issue
- Both scan_wifi_networks and scan_and_select_best_wifi methods had local time imports
- Now both methods use the globally imported time module correctly
- WiFi scanning and network selection should work without any variable scoping errors

This completely resolves the UnboundLocalError issues in WiFi network scanning
by ensuring no local imports shadow the globally imported time module.

- Removed local import of 'time' module in scan_wifi_networks method
- The 'time' module is already imported at the top of the file
- Local import was creating a variable that shadowed the imported module
- This caused UnboundLocalError when trying to access time.sleep(2)
- WiFi scanning should now work without variable scoping errors

This resolves the 'cannot access local variable time where is not associated with a value' error
that occurred during WiFi network scanning in the AutoInstaller GUI.

- Reduce title font size from 24pt to 18pt for more compact header
- Reduce copy progress text area height from 100px to 60px
- Maintains readability while improving overall GUI layout proportions

This provides users with manual disk selection while keeping auto-detection
as the default, and ensures all GUI content remains visible with proper scrolling.

- Fixed AttributeError: 'AutoInstallerGUI' object has no attribute 'log'
- Replaced self.log() call with print() in detect_default_disk method
- The log method is only available in InstallerWorker class, not AutoInstallerGUI
- This resolves the crash when running frozen PyInstaller binary
- Maintains logging functionality for disk detection without breaking frozen binary

This fixes the PyInstaller frozen binary crash that occurred during GUI initialization
when trying to auto-detect the default installation disk.

- Use availableGeometry() instead of full screen geometry for fullscreen mode
- This accounts for taskbars, panels, and other system UI elements that may overlap
- Set window geometry to available screen space before calling showFullScreen()
- Ensures all GUI content remains visible in fullscreen mode
- Resolves issue where bottom part of fullscreen window was hidden/cut off

This fixes the fullscreen display issue where the window extended beyond
the visible screen area, making the bottom content inaccessible.

- Set default timezone to Africa/Johannesburg
- Auto-detect and select first available WiFi network with strongest signal

- Pre-populate GUI with detected defaults on startup
- Add set_defaults() method called during GUI initialization
- Implement WiFi scanning with signal strength sorting
- Add detect_default_network() and detect_default_disk() methods
- Use QInputDialog for WiFi password input

This provides sensible defaults for all GUI selections, making the
installation process more user-friendly by pre-selecting appropriate
options based on the detected hardware and network environment.

- Remove automatic fullscreen setting from AutoInstallerGUI constructor
- Allow main() function to control fullscreen/windowed mode based on --no-fullscreen argument
- Fix logic: when --no-fullscreen is specified, use window.show() instead of fullscreen
- When --no-fullscreen is NOT specified, use window.showFullScreen() for production use
- Ensures command line argument properly controls the application's display mode

This resolves the issue where --no-fullscreen option was not working correctly
and allows proper testing in windowed mode while maintaining fullscreen for production.

- This prevents PyInstaller from interfering with system library loading in subprocess
- Ensures mount, parted, mkfs.ext4, and other system commands use correct system libraries
- Resolves persistent library version conflicts in frozen binary
- System commands now execute with proper environment isolation

This completely resolves the PyInstaller frozen binary mount and system command issues
by ensuring subprocess calls use clean environment without PyInstaller interference.

- Modified mount_target and partition_disk methods to use shell=True subprocess calls
- This bypasses PyInstaller library conflicts by running commands in separate shell processes
- Mount command now uses shell execution: 'mount /dev/sda1 /target'
- Partition commands (parted, mkfs.ext4) also use shell execution to avoid library issues
- Added proper error handling with stderr capture for shell commands
- Added time import for sleep functionality in partition_disk
- Ensures frozen binary can execute system commands without library version conflicts

This resolves the persistent mount error in PyInstaller frozen binary by
executing system commands through shell subprocess instead of direct calls.

- Excluded 'libmount.so.1', 'libblkid.so.1', 'libuuid.so.1' and their variants
- This prevents library version conflicts when running mount commands from frozen binary
- Resolves 'version MOUNT_2_41 not found' error when mounting target disk
- Frozen binary will now use system libraries instead of bundled ones for mount operations
- Ensures compatibility with different system library versions

This fixes the PyInstaller frozen binary issue where mount operations
failed due to conflicting bundled libraries vs system requirements.
