📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This pull request adds vault reinitialization functionality to the desktop application. When vault directory paths change in preferences, the system detects the change, persists the preferences, clears session state, and reinitializes the vault. The implementation includes new service functions, navigation store reset capability, development/production preference file separation, and localization support.

Changes

Vault Service Core tdn-desktop/src/services/vault.ts, tdn-desktop/src/services/vault.test.ts	Introduced reinitializeVault() function to clear session state and reinitialize vault; added vaultConfigChanged() function to detect vault-related preference changes with comprehensive test coverage

Poem

🐰 A vault once lived all scattered and lost,
But now when paths shift, no data is tossed!
We clear the stale state with a hop and a bound,
Reinitialize fresh—let the vault be sound! ✨
