Research direction
Reproduce the failure on Ubuntu 24.04 by installing Simplenote-linux-2.22.2-amd64.deb with dpkg and running simplenote, simplenote --help, and man simplenote. Trace the Linux packaging and launch behavior; done means the application starts, help displays usage information, and a Simplenote manual entry is available.
