Commit a3e654d (https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/pull/16053) removed explicit --target flags from the Linux desktop build workflow when removing musl support. This change inadvertently broke the build.js binary distribution logic, which only copies the desktop_proxy binary to the dist directory when an explicit target is specified. Without this binary in the expected location (/opt/Bitwarden/desktop_proxy), browser integration fails on Linux.
This fix restores explicit --target flags using gnu triplets instead of the previously removed musl triplets. The x64 build now uses --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu and the arm64 build uses --target=aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu, ensuring build.js properly distributes the desktop_proxy binary and restoring browser integration functionality on Linux desktop.
