Subject: [PATCH] Improve build script: remove aggressive cache cleaning and
 add auto dependency check
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Changes:
- Removed -modcache flag that was deleting Go modules unnecessarily
- Changed from -cache -modcache -testcache to just go clean
- Added automatic system dependency detection (X11 libs)
- Will attempt to install missing deps automatically if found
- Keeps Go module cache intact between builds for faster compilation

This fixes the issue where builds would fail after cache cleaning due to
missing Go modules, while still checking for required system libraries.
