Helium Linux update

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Release inputs and metadata helium-chromium, package/helium-bin.spec, package/net.imput.helium.metainfo.xml	The Chromium submodule and package metadata move to Helium version 0.16.1.1.
Build and cross-compilation support docker/build.Dockerfile, scripts/shared.sh, patches/ungoogled-chromium/portablelinux/drop-nodejs-version-check.patch, patches/ungoogled-chromium/portablelinux/fix-compiling-on-arm64.patch	The build installs and provisions clang-format, removes Node.js version checks, and selects ARM64-specific host, sysroot, Rust, LLVM, and compiler settings.
Linux identity and packaging patches/helium/linux/change-chromium-branding.patch, patches/helium/linux/rename-chrome-binary.patch	Linux package metadata, data directories, desktop integration, audio identification, icons, binaries, Crashpad handling, symbols, stripping, and packaged executables use Helium names.
Missing desktop-file handling patches/helium/linux/add-error-for-missing-desktop-file.patch	Linux reports CANNOT_BE_DEFAULT when no browser desktop file exists and updates default-browser UI and URL handling for that state.
Middle-click paste override patches/helium/linux/add-middle-click-paste-flag.patch	A Linux-only Helium flag controls middle-click paste. Explicit feature overrides take precedence over the system Linux UI setting.
Linux tab-stroke behavior patches/helium/linux/disable-tab-strokes.patch	Linux disables tab strokes through the ChromeOS behavior path.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 60122

This update omits the chrome_sandbox helper from Linux packages, which can prevent the application from starting safely on systems without unprivileged user namespaces; merge should be blocked until the helper or an equivalent tested sandbox is included. Minor packaging-message and branding inconsistencies also remain.

Keep the error text aligned with the searched paths.

When XDG_DATA_HOME or XDG_DATA_DIRS is set, HasInstalledDesktopFile() searches the directories returned by base::nix::GetXDGDataSearchLocations(env), but GetDefaultBrowserError() displays only the default directories. The message can therefore list directories that were not searched and omit directories that were searched. Use the computed directory list or remove the hard-coded list.

Update the remaining Chromium package descriptions.

MENUNAME now says Helium, but SHORTDESC and FULLDESC still identify the product as Chromium. Package metadata generated from this file will show mixed branding. Update both descriptions to Helium.

Package chrome_sandbox in every Linux artifact.

The patch removes it from packaging_files_executables, and scripts/package.sh omits it from the tarball file list. The AppImage copies that tarball, so both artifacts lack Chromium’s setuid Layer-1 fallback when unprivileged user namespaces are disabled. Restore the helper and preserve its required setuid-root permissions, or provide and test an equivalent sandbox.
