 ## Packaging Notes
 
 - Mini EQ is an upstream-maintained GTK/Libadwaita graphical application.
 - The app ID `io.github.bhack.mini-eq` matches the GitHub repository ownership.
 - The app requires `xdg-run/pipewire-0` to create and use PipeWire audio nodes.
+- PyGObject comes from `org.gnome.Platform`; bundling it from PyPI would risk
+  mismatches with the runtime GLib, GTK, and GObject-Introspection stack.
 - The Flatpak bundles only the PipeWire filter-chain module and SPA builtin
   filter graph plugin needed inside the app process; it does not bundle or run
   a PipeWire daemon or session manager.
