Cachy-update just pulled in a full upstream rebase to v4.2.0, bringing the tray icon fix and fresh translations.

The cachy-update drop shipped v4.2.0, a full upstream rebase from Antiz96 [1] that lands the tray icon fix: the icon is now set after the update statefile is (re)written, eliminating stale state info in the systray tooltip [2]. Chinese simplified translation escaping got corrected in the same cycle [3], and translation files were refreshed across the board [4]. Over in CachyOS-PKGBUILDS, cachyos-gaming-meta bumped to release 9 and dropped lib32-mpg123 because Arch dropped it upstream [5]. The wiki desk updated critical language translations, with cantosun99 noting they used their local AI to 'automate a shitton of literature research' before taking a break to refresh translations [6]. Russian FAQ typos got fixed too [7]. Mirror watchers: the zyner mirror path in cachyos-mirrorlist changed [8], and both China mirrors are up, with USTC responding in 1122 ms [9] and Nanjing in 2047 ms [10]. Quiet on the security front; no advisories to act on.

Action items

→ Update cachy-update to v4.2.0 to get the tray icon fix and rebase CachyOS/cachy-update [plan]
→ Rebuild cachyos-gaming-meta to drop lib32-mpg123 before it breaks CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS [immediate]
→ Review the cachyos-mirrorlist zyner path change if you rely on that mirror CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS [monitor]
