Subject: [PATCH] Updated the AppImage workflow to copy Python dist-packages
 into the AppDir for both standard and multiarch layouts
 (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages and
 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/python3/dist-packages). This ensures Python runtime
 modules needed by the embedded plugin are actually bundled.

Updated AppRun Python environment setup to build PYTHONPATH dynamically from all bundled candidate directories instead of assuming only one path. This should address cases where the Python plugin fails to initialize in the AppImage due to missing import paths.
