Panel: SERVICES section becomes APPLICATIONS — shows configured GUI apps with
status dots, launch/stop controls, and "+ Add" button linking to Settings.
Backend: DisplayManager.autostart_apps() launches autostart-enabled GUI apps on
service startup (always-on desktop session). Lifespan calls it before yield.
Settings: new Applications section for managing GUI apps (add/remove/autostart
toggle). General section gains update scanner interval + enable/disable toggle.
Config adds update_check_enabled and update_check_interval fields.

The Xvfb + x11vnc + websockify + noVNC approach defeats the purpose
of a native web desktop environment. Removed all related backend
(display.py, routers/display.py), frontend (xdisplay.js/css, panel
tray polling), and installer (X11 deps) code.

Replace dismissable toast with persistent status row showing a green
dot + "Up to date" with commit hash, or amber dot + "Update available"
with an inline Install button. One or the other is always visible.

shutil.which("git") fails under systemd's stripped PATH. Added
_find_git() that checks common locations (/usr/bin/git, etc.)
as fallback. Also added null-safe check on apiFetch response
in the update checker frontend code.

PTY terminals now survive browser refresh and close. Session manager
owns PTY lifecycle independently of WebSocket connections, with
background readers storing scrollback for replay on reconnect. Desktop
state (open apps, active app, terminal tabs) persists server-side and
restores automatically on login. Auth tokens moved to localStorage.
