Learned per-tier ETA from the last successful build, a live elapsed/ETA/percent ticker while codegen is silent, and start/finish banners. Safe under zsh/oh-my-zsh (runs under bash, newline-terminated, TTY-gated colors). NO_TICKER=1 silences it.

Users on CPUs without AES-NI (Nehalem i7-860, pre-2010 Intel Macs) or
without SSSE3 (AMD Phenom II) crashed at launch with SIGILL. The
global `-C target-feature=+aes,+ssse3` was kept after the #353/#343
x86-64-v3 incident on the belief that the aes crate's cpufeatures
runtime check would protect CPUs without AES-NI — but a compile-time
target feature makes cpufeatures compile its check to a constant, so
the AES-NI intrinsics ran unconditionally (credentials AES-GCM decrypt
at startup), and +ssse3 let LLVM autovectorize anywhere, breaking
Phenom II. Measured on the qbz-cmaf hot path (Ctr128BE<Aes128>
apply_keystream, 256 MB, release): 2145 MB/s compiled-in vs 2162 MB/s
runtime-dispatched, identical output — the flags bought nothing on
capable CPUs. Removed from .cargo/config.toml, all dev/build scripts
and the release/build workflows; old CPUs now get the software AES
fallback instead of a crash.
Fixes#549

Root-caused with an ftrace signal trap: earlyoom (RAM-only trigger,
10% of 31 GB) SIGTERM'd the qbz_ui rustc while the cgroup sat under
its cap — the 3.5 GB margin ignored that the desktop grows during an
hour-long build, and global MemAvailable cratered to 3.1 GB. Anchor
memory.high at avail minus 9 GB so the build throttles into swap
long before the global floor approaches the trigger.

Slint cannot split the .slint compilation across crates, but a Slint LIBRARY
crate exposes its generated Rust types to dependent crates (verified with a
minimal proof). So:
- NEW crate `qbz-ui` (lib): owns the whole .slint tree + build.rs + bundled
translations; `slint::include_modules!()` + the generated types (AppWindow,
MiniPlayerWindow, all globals/structs) are re-exported. Translation domain is
now `qbz-ui` (the .po files renamed accordingly).
- `qbz-slint` (bin) -> renamed to `qbz` (package + `[[bin]] name = "qbz"`),
reclaiming the binary name from the retired Tauri app. It depends on `qbz-ui`
and does `pub use qbz_ui::*;` so existing `crate::AppWindow` / `crate::*State`
references resolve unchanged.
This splits the single ~20 GB rustc into two crates (UI/codegen vs the 75k LOC
of logic) — the foundation for lower build peak, incremental caching, and the
upcoming per-feature crate extraction.
Also fixed for the move: qbz-i18n bundled-.po include paths, the font/WGSL
`include_bytes!`/`include_str!` paths (-> ../../qbz-ui/ui/), workspace members,
dev scripts (`-p qbz`), and the CI workflows. `cargo check -p qbz` is green.

The fixed threads=16/opt=3 release build SIGTERM'd at codegen whenever the
desktop held ~8-11 GB (30 GB box, no hibernation, hard-freezes on OOM). Now
scales rustc frontend threads + codegen-units + opt-level to MemAvailable
(FAST >=26G / SAFE 14-26G / MIN <14G), runs under cargo-capped with the cap
matched to free RAM, and adds FAST/THREADS/CODEGEN_UNITS/OPT/CAPPED/NORUN env
overrides. Verified: full release build completed at SAFE tier (threads=2
cgu=256 opt=3, capped ~19.7G) in 55m without freezing.
cc
Builds in release then execs crates/target/release/qbz-slint directly instead of
via 'cargo run', so process monitors show it as 'qbz-slint' (a cargo-run child
inherits CARGO_* env and shows as 'cargo'), cleanly separate from the build
processes. Same release flags as slint-dev.sh.
