Cherry-pick the windows onboarding flow from AnrokX PRs #796 and #791 with all review issues fixed: Features ported: - First-run dependency wizard (Git, Node, npm, gh, Claude, Codex) - Setup action service with PowerShell command runner - GitHub CLI device-flow login with code detection - Git identity configuration (name/email) - Diagnostics panel enhancements - Toast notification CSS rewrite - Workspace startup race condition fix (workspaceSystemReady gate) - Desktop launch trace support in bootstrap page Issues fixed from review: - Remove dead `guidance` variable (~60 lines never rendered in template) - Add retention limit (50 runs) to setupActionService Maps (memory leak) - Disable updater plugin instead of empty pubkey (prevents silent update failures) - Keep stderr on non-Windows platforms for debugging (was nulled everywhere) - Document autoCreate behavioral change in workspaceManager - Exclude binary artifacts (zip files) and patch script from cherry-pick Based on work by AnrokX in PRs #796 and #791.

What happened
Windows packaged builds installed successfully but exited immediately on launch.
Captured stderr showed:
PluginInitialization("updater", "Error deserializing 'plugins.updater' within your Tauri configuration: invalid type: null, expected struct Config")The app was failing during Tauri plugin initialization before normal startup.
Root cause
tauri-plugin-updaterexpectsplugins.updaterintauri.conf.jsonto deserialize to an object. In this branch, it resolved tonull, causing early startup failure in packaged Windows builds.Fix
Added a minimal non-null updater plugin config in
src-tauri/tauri.conf.json:plugins.updater.pubkey = ""This preserves optional updater behavior (runtime env-gated) while preventing process-start plugin init crash.
Validation
