the permissions look scary, but the user still needs to grant them. this just allows the app to ask. this permission set now matches the entitlements in iTerm and other popular terminal programs (before we were too restrictive)
Going forward for new installations, config and data files will be
stored at the platform default paths, as defined by
[env-paths](https://www.npmjs.com/package/env-paths).
For backwards compatibility, if the `~/.waveterm` or `WAVETERM_HOME`
directory exists and contains valid data, it will be used. If this check
fails, then `WAVETERM_DATA_HOME` and `WAVETERM_CONFIG_HOME` will be
used. If these are not defined, then `XDG_DATA_HOME` and
`XDG_CONFIG_HOME` will be used. Finally, if none of these are defined,
the [env-paths](https://www.npmjs.com/package/env-paths) defaults will
be used.
As with the existing app, dev instances will write to `waveterm-dev`
directories, while all others will write to `waveterm`.
Adds new functionality on the backend that will merge any file from the
config directory that matches `<partName>.json` or `<partName>/*.json`
into the corresponding config part (presets, termthemes, etc.). This
lets us separate the AI presets into `presets/ai.json` so that we can
add a dropdown in the AI preset selector that will directly open the
file so a user can edit it more easily. Right now, this will create a
preview block in the layout, but in the future we can look into making
this block disconnected from the layout.
If you put AI presets in the regular presets.json file, it will still
work, since all the presets get merged. Same for any other config part.
This will take the latest artifact from the waveterm-docs repo and embed
it in the app binary. When the help view is launched, it will be served
from our backend. If the embedded copy doesn't exist, such as in
unpackaged versions of the app or in locally packaged versions, it will
use the hosted site instead.
There is a sibling PR in the docs repository to build the embedded
version of the app (strips out some external links, removes Algolia
DocSearch, updates the baseUrl)

With this PR, Electron will generate a new authorization key that the Go
backend will look for in any incoming requests. The Electron backend
will inject this header with all requests to the backend to ensure no
additional work is required on the frontend.
This also adds a `fetchutil` abstraction that will use the Electron
`net` module when calls are made from the Electron backend to the Go
backend. When using the `node:fetch` module, Electron can't inject
headers to requests. The Electron `net` module is also faster than the
Node module.
This also breaks out platform functions in emain into their own file so
other emain modules can import them.
The Window Controls Overlay API applies a transparent overlay on
Windows, but not on Linux. This PR addresses this by capturing the area
underneath the overlay, averaging the color of the area, and setting
this as the overlay background color.
It will also detect whether to make the control symbols white or black,
depending on how dark the background color is.
On Linux, this will set both the background color and the symbol color,
on Windows it will just set the symbol color.

This improves the app updater so that it doesn't rely on unreliable
system notifications. Now, a banner in the tab bar will display when an
update is available. Clicking this will prompt the user to restart the
app and complete the installation.
This also updates the tab bar to move to the smaller tab size earlier so
we don't need to make the tab bar scrollable as much.
This adds a new global atom to track whether a window is in full screen.
It also updates the behavior of the tab bar so that it will only add an
extra left indent on macOS windows that are not in full screen.
Otherwise, the indent will be much smaller.
Adds electron-builder, which we will use to package and distribute our
application, same as in the existing app.
Replaces explicit port assignments with dynamic ones, which are then
stored into environment variables.
Adds a ~/.w2-dev folder for use when running a dev build.
The build-helper pipeline from the old repo is included here too, but it
is not updated yet so it will fail.
Also removes some redundant utility functions and cleans up some let vs.
const usage.
The packaging can be run using the `package:prod` and `package:dev`
tasks.

This sets us back up to use Vite via the electron-vite package. This
will let us continue to build our testing suite on Vitest and take
advantage of Vite features like Hot Module Reloading, etc.
