- add optional --watch gating for HMR and file watching in webui-cli start\n- keep /hmr available to avoid polling 404s and fix route precedence\n- make --servedir optional and preserve static serving semantics\n- switch MIME detection to mime_guess\n- merge xtask example build steps into build-examples\n- add crate/examples READMEs and sync root/docs/DESIGN references
The package index on GitHub Actions runners can be stale, causing apt-get install to fail with 404 errors. Add apt-get update before install, matching the pattern already used in setup-wasm/action.yml. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

The problem we had before is that we were implementing HMR for every server, that is beyond the scope of this project, we are creating the webui framework that devs can add to their own project, and we are creating just a single dev server to help us with development or anyone who wants a simple btr in by default.
Another major change is that I removed all the examples and just kept the server code like Node and Rust example, simple examples that anyone can follow, the whole point is integration, not creating a web server. We need to do the same for others like Go, C# with FFI for example. Like move the FFI examples into this folder.
Removal of tiny_http and hyper cause they are not used that much and used actix-web which is hte most popular
