-### Bug Fixes
-- Bundle `wmi` explicitly in the Windows distribution. It's a transitive dependency of `screen-brightness-control` gated on `platform_system == "Windows"`, but pip evaluates environment markers against the host (Linux in CI), so it was silently skipped during cross-build. Now listed explicitly in both `pyproject.toml` and `build-dist-windows.sh` so the wheel lands in the Windows bundle.
+### Changes
+- Bundle the audio visualizer by default. `soundcard` and `numpy` are now mandatory dependencies instead of gated behind the optional `[visualizer]` extra, so the visualizer works out of the box on every install.
+
+---
+
+### Development / Internal
+
+#### CI/Build
+- Simplify `build-dist-linux.sh` to install `.` instead of `.[visualizer]` now that the deps are part of the base install.
