This PR replaces the legacy, file-based versions system with a native Git-backed version control system, integrating branches, tagging, stash actions, and remote synchronization.
Key Changes
Git Service & IPC Handlers: Implemented gitService.cjs and gitIpc.cjs using simple-git to support logs, status updates, branches, tags, stashes, and remote pushes/pulls. Added automatic migrations from legacy history files on startup.
App Menu Refactor: Replaced "File > Versions" with a dedicated "Version Control" top-level menu featuring quick shortcuts for branches, tags, stashes, and remote syncing.
Git Status Bar Button: Replaced bottom bar indicators with a unified Git Status Bar button reflecting working tree cleanliness and pending commit count status.
Git Timeline & Commit Dialog: Added a compact, horizontal timeline row layout with word-level difference highlighting. Staging and commit message limits are enforced within GitCommitDialog.jsx.
Note-Specific History Popover: Fixed directory filtering to show historical commits relative to the active note. The layout width was expanded to 900px for high readability.
Default Visual Preview Mode: Rewrote GitDiffViewer.jsx to render note diff changes with the native Markdown engine. Local images and Excalidraw diagrams resolve correctly via the active repository root path.
Balanced Line Height Breaks: Blank paragraph rows scale down to a clean 12px spacer height, making paragraph breaks look natural.
Tag Creation Modal: Implemented a React OverlayDialog Tag Modal to replace the broken Electron window.prompt dialog. Removed the unnecessary "Branch" button from note-specific history popups.
Onboarding Flow Updates: Added a balanced, 6-block feature grid highlights card introducing Git Version Control, Markdown & Tables, Excalidraw & Mermaid, P2P Note Sync, Workspace AI, and Tasks & Exports.
Documentation Overhaul: Updated the main README.md and repository help files (user-guide.md, feature-reference.md, top-tasks.md) to reflect the new Git timeline and menu actions.
