Introduces a new `WindowControls` component in the desktop top bar with minimize, maximize/restore, and close actions for the focused window. `WindowService` now exposes focused-window presence/maximized state plus focused-window convenience actions to support this UI.
Also extends Nebula UI with a reusable `NebulaToolTip`, keyboard/pressed-state support in `NebulaIconButton`, new window-control glyphs in `NebulaIcon`, and theme tokens for pressed/danger hover states, with CMake and README updates to register/document the new components.
Introduces a new `core/applications` QML/C++ module (`Nebula.Applications`) to discover `.desktop` entries, expose filterable application models, and launch installed apps safely from the shell. The desktop launcher now uses real installed apps with themed icon loading and fallback glyphs, adds output-aware surface sizing via `OutputTracker`, and wires in image/icon providers. It also adds VMware-focused Sway/shell wrapper scripts, updates Sway config/session env defaults, and refreshes README docs to document the new development flow and Desktop 0.1 behavior.
Introduce a new production desktop shell at `shells/desktop/shell` built with C++20, Qt Quick/QML, and LayerShellQt, including top bar, launcher, desktop surfaces, shell state, and mock app data. Add the shared `packages/nebula-ui` QML module (theme, controls, focus, icons) and wire it into the shell build.
Retire the old GTK/WebKit native host by removing `shells/desktop/native`, move the React shell UI to `shells/desktop/prototype-react` as an archived design reference, and update root/compositor/session documentation to reflect the new Linux-only production architecture and temporary Sway role.
Initialize the NebulaOS monorepo layout with top-level documentation, ignore rules, placeholder service/package directories, compositor docs plus a baseline Sway config, and session startup/desktop entry files. Add the first desktop shell prototype under `shells/desktop/ui` using React + Vite, including themed surface components (desktop, top bar, launcher, preview), mock Nebula APIs and shell bridge state wiring, reusable UI controls/icons, and supporting styles/config needed for local development.
