Draft GitHub Release Notes (paste onto the GitHub Release after tag)Vocalinux v0.16.2Vocalinux 0.16.2 is a patch on the 0.16 line. It fixes KDE leftover IBus so dictation types into real apps, Wayland and IBus keyboard shortcuts through wtype/ydotool, real BackSpace for "delete that", and Fedora/Arch installer packages that actually ship glslc. Nightly builds stamp the version before packaging, release artifacts get checksums and pinned builders, and CI gates the AUR PKGBUILD plus the distros the docs promise. Highlights

Summary
Prepares v0.16.2, a stability patch on the 0.16 series.
Same feature set as 0.16.x. This tag is the desktop, installer, release-integrity, and site work that landed after v0.16.1: leftover IBus on KDE, Wayland/IBus shortcuts through wtype and ydotool, real BackSpace for "delete that", Fedora/Arch glslc packages, nightly version stamp, release checksums and pinned builders, AUR PKGBUILD CI gate, distro CI/docs drift, and VocaGateway Beta on the site.
Not in this cut (still open): #780, #781, #774, and older conflicting parks. Leave those for a later tag.
