v0.2.1 — Setup Wizard, New Icon, Bug Fixes

What's new in v0.2.1

First-run setup wizard

• Guided 5-step setup on first launch: pick your backend (oMLX or llama.cpp), verify installation, choose your models folder, done
• Automatically generates the launchd plist — no more manual XML editing
• Option to set up both backends in one go
• Re-run anytime from Preferences… → Run Setup Wizard…
• Skip option if the binary isn't installed yet

New app icon

• Brushed metal toggle design

Window drag fix

• Both the setup wizard and settings windows are now properly draggable
• Fixed by replacing non-functional data-tauri-drag-region with a native Tauri drag command

Bug fixes

• Fixed wizard overwriting existing api_key and default_model when re-running setup
• Added XML escaping for user-supplied paths in plist generation (security fix)
• install_service now uses fallback binary paths instead of erroring when the binary isn't installed yet
• Removed setup banner from Preferences (replaced by wizard)
• Cleaned up dead code and unused attributes

Under the hood

• Added tauri-plugin-dialog for native folder picker
• Release binary: 9.2MB, clippy clean
• CSP intact: script-src 'self', no inline handlers
