ZTM v1.0.4-rc4 cannot be initialized or run in true headless mode, even when using --no-ui

[NQuebec]

Environment

• Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS (x86_64), headless cloud server
• ZTM v1.0.4-rc4 (generic Linux build)
• Intended role: hub + agent, no GUI

Problem
ZTM v1.0.4-rc4 cannot be initialized or run in true headless mode, even when using --no-ui.

Observed behavior

• Running ztm init --no-ui fails with:

  Failed to initialize GTK backend
  

• Installing libwebkit2gtk-4.1.so.0 resolves the missing library error but does not fix GTK initialization.

• Running under Xvfb (xvfb-run -a ztm init --no-ui) avoids the GTK panic but the process hangs, repeatedly attempting to connect to http://127.0.0.1:7777, with no successful initialization.

• The binary still links against GTK / WebKit via Tauri, even in --no-ui mode.

Expected behavior
A fully functional headless / CLI-only mode where:

• No GTK, WebKit, or display server is required
• ztm init --no-ui works on a server without X11 / Wayland
• Suitable for hub deployments on cloud and minimal Linux hosts

Impact

• v1.0.4-rc4 is currently not usable on headless servers
• Users must either install a full GUI stack or remain on rc3 (which lacks tunnel deletion and poses security concerns)

Request

• Provide a true headless build (no GTK/Tauri dependency), or
• Ensure --no-ui fully bypasses GUI initialization paths

Hi,

Please try new releae v1.0.4.
ztm-aio-v1.0.4-generic_linux-x86_64.tar.gz

This would work for you.
