@@ -570,15 +570,15 @@ Bigger pieces still deferred (each warrants its own minor, not v0.2.0 noise):
 - **i18n bridge** (§12). Symfony Translator (XLIFF) + Qt Translator (.ts) with a shared locale switch fanning out to both.
 - **Persistent log files + rotation** (Phase 5 out-of-scope). Symfony monolog wiring + a Qt-host log file with rotation. The dev console stays for live tails.
 - **Multi-arch builds** (§12). Linux ARM64, Windows ARM, macOS universal (arm64 + x86_64). Each adds a CI matrix dimension.
-- **Flathub / Snap packaging** (§12). Better discoverability than AppImage at the cost of additional packaging surfaces.
 - **Composer `create-project` package** (Phase 5 out-of-scope). Publish `php-qml/skeleton` as a composer template so `composer create-project php-qml/skeleton my-app` works. Bash `bin/php-qml-init` stays for curl-bootstrap.
 
 ### v0.9.0 — cross-platform packaging (release-candidate milestone)
 
-Locks down the cross-platform story before promoting to v1.0.0. Held until v0.9.0 (rather than v0.2.0) because each item carries operational prerequisites (paid certs, self-hosted runners, platform-specific notarisation pipelines) that are easier to absorb in a single concentrated push than to drip-feed across minors. Linux AppImage stays the only packaged target until then.

Held until v0.9.0 (rather than v0.2.0) because each item carries operational prerequisites (paid certs, self-hosted runners, platform-specific notarisation pipelines) that are easier to absorb in a single concentrated push than to drip-feed across minors. **Linux AppImage stays the only packaged target through v0.2.0/v0.3.0 and the v1.0.0 prep work** — alternate Linux channels (Flathub, Snap) and the macOS/Windows ports all land here.
 
 - **macOS packaging** (was Phase 4b). `.app` bundle + `.dmg` + Sparkle 2 + notarization. Prerequisites: self-hosted macOS runner, Apple Developer cert ($99/yr), notarisation toolchain.
 - **Windows packaging** (was Phase 4c). NSIS installer + WinSparkle + Authenticode signing. Prerequisites: self-hosted Windows runner, code-signing cert (EV preferred to dodge SmartScreen reputation warm-up).
+- **Flathub / Snap packaging** (§12). Alternate Linux channels for better discoverability than AppImage. Each adds its own packaging surface (Flatpak manifest + Flathub PR review; snapcraft.yaml + Snap Store listing).
 - **Per-platform first-launch UX** (§11, *Distribution UX*). Gatekeeper / SmartScreen / AV-vendor pre-submissions, file-association docs, App Store path decisions.
 - **Telemetry + crash reporting** (§12). Opt-in only, off by default; PHP-side Sentry for backend errors + a per-platform crash-dump pipeline for the Qt host (each OS does this differently — fits the cross-platform-packaging milestone). Plumbing settled before v1.0.0 even if no default endpoint ships.
