- README main-window screenshot: `README/screenshots/main.png` predated the reproducible Store screenshot generator and showed an empty, freshly-installed board ("Allgemein", 0 entries) instead of the app's real functionality (T-20260926-413277423). Replaced the README (EN/DE/ES) and `STORE_LISTING.md` reference with the already-existing, regenerated `README/screenshots/store/main-window.png` (populated `Dev` board, produced by `generate_store_screenshots.py`), and removed the stale `main.png`. No LaunchBoards equivalent existed to check -- LaunchBoards has no tracked UI screenshot in this repo.

### Added
- LaunchBoards Banner: Added a dedicated `assets/banner-launchboards.png` (2400x680, blue
gradient, LaunchBoards shield icon) analogous to the existing SoftwareCenter banner, and
a new "LaunchBoards" section with the banner in `README.md`, `README_de.md`, and
`README.es.md`, ahead of the existing sister-product-boundary section
(T-20260926-802873568).
- Empty-Board Placeholder UI: When a board has 0 items, `SoftwareListWidget.paintEvent` renders a clean, non-intrusive empty-state overlay with title ("Dieses Board ist noch leer") and explanatory hint ("Ziehen Sie beliebige Apps, Dokumente, Ordner oder Verknüpfungen hierher.") adapting dynamically to system theme palettes.
- Help / About Dialog: Added `Hilfe` -> `Über SoftwareCenter` (and `Über LaunchBoards` for sister profile) menu action with version and concise description of the universal organization layer.
- Multi-Language 6-Language Parity: Added translations for the empty-board placeholder, help menu, and about dialog across all 6 Tier-2 languages (`de`, `en`, `es`, `zh`, `ja`, `ru`), maintaining 100% catalog parity (90 keys total).

## LaunchBoards

[LaunchBoards](https://github.com/file-bricks/SoftwareCenter) es el producto hermano de
SoftwareCenter: misma base de código, pero con marca e identidad propias, orientado a
tableros de trabajo intercambiables en lugar de un lanzador general de accesos directos.
Comparte este repositorio y el mismo proceso de publicación — no existe un árbol de
código independiente para LaunchBoards.

## Límites de producto hermano

LaunchBoards comparte la implementación pero dispone de su propio espacio de nombres en QSettings, punto final de instancia única, icono, ejecutable, identidad en la Store y ciclo de versiones. Las comprobaciones estáticas reproducibles y de procesos paralelos aislados se documentan en [PRODUCT_BOUNDARIES.md](PRODUCT_BOUNDARIES.md).

[LaunchBoards](https://github.com/file-bricks/SoftwareCenter) is the sister product of
SoftwareCenter: same codebase, own branding and identity, framed around switchable
workspace boards instead of a general shortcut launcher. It shares this repository and
release pipeline — there is no separate LaunchBoards source tree to maintain.
