Each configured GUI app (e.g. Nextcloud) gets its own dock icon and
opens as a regular Atlus tab. Under the hood: Xvfb virtual display,
ImageMagick captures individual window pixmaps as JPEG, streams over
WebSocket to a canvas element, with xdotool forwarding mouse/keyboard
input back to the X11 window. Apps persist in background when tab is
closed, and streaming pauses when no viewers are attached.
New files: backend/display.py (DisplayManager + ManagedGuiApp),
backend/routers/display.py (WebSocket + REST), frontend display.js/css.
Config: gui_apps array in settings for registered applications.

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.

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.

- Rewrote _apt helper as _run_cmd that never raises (returns rc/stdout/stderr)
- Handle stderr warnings from apt-cache gracefully (common on Armbian)
- Catch FileNotFoundError if binary missing despite PATH fix
- Show actual backend error message in frontend instead of generic "Search failed"
- Add /api/packages/debug endpoint for troubleshooting apt-cache issues
- Add logging throughout for server-side diagnostics

systemd runs services with a minimal PATH that may not include
/usr/bin or /usr/sbin. Add _safe_env() helpers that ensure standard
paths are present, and expand apt-cache discovery to check common
locations directly.
