There is no need to run as a systemd service. Minimize to tray can be implemented with the StatusNotifierItem/AppIndicator XDG protocol: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/StatusNotifierItem

feat: GUI dashboard, system Proton scanning, and XDG autostart

Fixed in commit f170171.

service::install() now writes an XDG autostart entry at ~/.config/autostart/umutray.desktop instead of a systemd unit. No systemctl calls remain anywhere in the binary.

service install → writes ~/.config/autostart/umutray.desktop with Hidden=false and X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
service uninstall → removes that file
service status → checks whether the autostart file exists

The umutray.service file is kept in the repo for the PKGBUILD (system packaging installs it to /usr/lib/systemd/user/ for users who prefer systemd), but it is no longer generated or managed by the binary itself.

The GUI settings panel (service_is_installed()) was also updated to check the XDG autostart path instead of the old systemd unit path.
