🚀 DevDash v2.0.0 - Native Desktop Release

I am thrilled to announce DevDash v2.0.0, marking a massive architectural shift from a simple browser utility into a fully standalone Native Desktop Application!

This release completely overhauls the DevDash experience, turning it into a seamless, unified .exe that lives in your system tray and runs quietly in the background without cluttering your browser tabs.

✨ Major Features

• Native Portable Application: Delivered as a single DevDash-Portable.exe. No installation, no complicated setups, no local CLI scripts required. Just double-click and you're ready to go.
• System Tray Integration: Clicking the X hides DevDash into your Windows system tray (like Discord or Spotify) so your background servers (npm run dev) and logs continue running uninterrupted.
• Single-Instance Lock: Ensures that opening the app multiple times won't spawn conflicting servers. Instead, it seamlessly brings your existing dashboard to the front of your screen.
• Theme Engine: I've expanded far beyond a simple dark mode. DevDash now ships with 5 curated aesthetics for developers: Light, Dark, Dracula, Nord, and Monokai.

🛠️ Key Improvements

• Persistent Data Storage: All your imported projects and configurations are now safely persisted in the native Windows AppData directory. Updating DevDash in the future will no longer wipe your imported projects.
• Unified Architecture: I merged the Electron wrapper, Node.js proxy API, and Vite React frontend into a unified, monolithic application structure, eliminating complex setup steps.
• Socket Stability: Fixed critical bugs related to backend Express routing and .asar archive limitations that were preventing the React frontend from mounting when packaged.
