Third-party attribution

Akita Sentinel bundles or links against the following third-party
projects. Each dependency retains its own license. Full per-dependency
license text is provided in `THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.txt` in this repository.

The following bundled / linked projects are known to publish their own
NOTICE attributions. When their code is redistributed as part of Akita
Sentinel binaries, those notices must be carried forward; the relevant
upstream NOTICE text is reproduced in `THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.txt`:

- Pillow / PIL (HPND-style license; included for icon rendering).
- rumps (BSD-3-Clause; included for macOS tray UI).
- pystray (LGPL-3.0 fallback path on Linux; isolated subprocess to
  preserve LGPL boundary).

For the authoritative SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) including all
transitive dependencies, see `THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.txt`. A `make sbom`
target that regenerates the SBOM on every release is queued as a
post-MVP follow-up.
