Deskstamp v0.2.0

Deskstamp v0.2.0 brings major performance optimizations, compositor flickering fixes, per-workspace stamp customization, and a discreet corner watermark mode with smart mouse evasion.

✨ Highlights & Bug Fixes

1. Per-Workspace Stamps (Community Feature Request)

• Unique Stamps per Workspace: As requested by @johnblommers in #1, you can now define independent watermark text per workspace via workspace_stamps in the configuration.
• Dynamic Context Tokens: Added {workspace} / {workspace_num}, {screen}, {display}, and {screen_name} for multi-monitor and multi-desktop setups.

2. Flickering Elimination & SHM Damage Tracking

• Partial Damage Buffering: Resolved desktop background flickering on Wayland compositors (Pop!_OS COSMIC, Mutter/GNOME, Sway). The overlay now issues wl_surface.damage_buffer strictly for the altered bounding box instead of invalidating the full 4K/1080p display buffer on every tick.
• Scanline Optimization: ARGB byte-swapping is restricted exclusively to dirty rows (~40 KB instead of 8.3 MB per tick), eliminating frame drop and high CPU overhead.
• No-Image Mode: Resolved rendering fallback when show_icon = false or when no image path is specified.
• Dock Icon Fix: Bound io.github.gabrielbaiano.Deskstamp app_id in the GUI ViewportBuilder to ensure proper task switcher and dock icon association under Wayland.

3. Discreet Corner HUD & Smart Mouse Dodge

• Apple Glass Pill Design: Added corner_style = "capsule" with customizable background opacity, borders, margins, and dynamic font scaling.
• Smart Mouse Dodge: Watermark dynamically evades to the opposite corner (corner_mouse_dodge = true) when your cursor hovers over it, keeping full desktop visibility.
• Single-Line Connectors: Optional dynamic horizontal lines linking repeated watermark text in grid mode.

4. Settings Studio Enhancements

• Reset to Defaults: Added quick reset in the header and full factory default restore button at the bottom of the Settings Studio.
• Debounced Updates: 40ms slider debouncing prevents Wayland event queue saturation during rapid configuration adjustments.

🔮 What's Next (v0.3.0)

The upcoming v0.3.0 release will focus on:

• Comprehensive visual bug fixes and high-DPI font scaling refinements.
• Settings menu improvements, including dedicated daemon lifecycle controls (Running / Stopped indicator with inline start/stop actions).
