Add passive arrow mode

[aurorascharff]

Summary

• Add an Arrow Mode that turns a drag gesture into a persistent on-screen arrow annotation.
• Add a Clear Arrows action with a default Control + Option + Command + C shortcut.
• Wire Arrow Mode through the menu bar menu, settings UI, profile storage, and global shortcut settings.

Notes

This intentionally uses the same passive observation model as Laser Pointer mode. The overlay stays click-through (ignoresMouseEvents = true) and does not suppress mouse events, so the app underneath still receives the drag. That means text can still highlight while drawing an arrow, but ClickLight should not trap clicks or block interaction.

Laser Pointer and Arrow Mode are mutually exclusive. Disabling ClickLight also turns off Arrow Mode and clears existing arrows.

Testing

• swift build
• ./build-app.sh
• Installed locally from the built app and smoke-tested Arrow Mode, Clear Arrows, disabling ClickLight, and normal clicking after disabling.

Pull request overview

Adds a new passive Arrow Mode to the ClickLight overlay pipeline, allowing users to draw persistent on-screen arrow annotations during drag gestures, plus a Clear Arrows action (with a default global shortcut) wired through the app’s menu/UI/settings/profile/hotkey stack.

Changes:

• Introduces showArrowMode setting and new shortcut actions (toggleArrowMode, clearArrows) with UserDefaults + profile persistence.
• Wires Arrow Mode + Clear Arrows into the status menu, settings UI, and hotkey handling (including Laser Pointer mutual exclusion).
• Extends overlay rendering to create, draw, and clear arrow annotations.
