v0.5.0 - improve onboarding setup - plugins integrated

Simplified installation by embedding core plugins directly in the repository.

Breaking Changes

• Consolidated dependencies - Wallet plugin dependencies moved to root package.json
• Empty plugins manifest - plugins/manifest.json cleared for future third-party plugins
• Updated .gitignore - Core plugins are now tracked, third-party plugins still ignored

Update Script

• Improved stash handling - More robust auto-stash with fallback for edge cases
• Removed submodule step - No longer runs git submodule update

Migration Notes

For existing installations with submodule issues:

1. Run git submodule deinit -f plugins/void-plugin-*
2. Run rm -rf .git/modules/plugins
3. Delete and re-clone the plugins directories
4. Run ./update.sh to pull the new version

New installations just need to run ./setup.sh as usual.
