AppImage was not created. Expected at: {} linuxdeploy stdout

Error message

AppImage was not created. Expected at: {}
linuxdeploy stdout:
{}
linuxdeploy stderr:
{}

What it means

After linuxdeploy ran, neither the expected AppImage path nor any discoverable AppImage output existed in the output directory. The tool reported success or was relocated, so the fallback search failed and the bundler bails with the expected path and tool logs.
