Introduces a dedicated layer-shell `WindowChromeSurface` that renders macOS-style traffic-light controls over the focused Sway window titlebar, replacing the old top-bar window controls. Adds theme tokens and a reusable `TrafficLightButton` component, updates shell QML/CMake wiring, and adjusts Sway titlebar padding/title format so window titles do not overlap the overlay. Window tracking was extended with focused-window geometry/deco/fullscreen properties plus backend refresh support so the chrome follows window movement and state changes in near real time.
Introduces a new `core/windows` module (`Nebula.Windows`) with `WindowService`, window/workspace models, and a Sway IPC backend for live window tracking and control (focus, close, move/resize, snap, maximize/restore, minimize, workspace switch). The desktop shell now links this module, uses compositor focus for top-bar active app text, and adds an Open Windows section in the launcher with focus/close actions.
Also updates application metadata handling to parse `StartupWMClass` and map window `app_id`/class to friendly names and icons, and revises Sway config/docs for the new floating-first Desktop 0.2 behavior with temporary compositor-provided decorations.
Removes the hardcoded `output * mode 1920x1080` from the development Sway config and updates related docs to match. Dev sessions now rely on each output’s preferred mode at scale `1`, which better follows current display size (including VMware autofit behavior), while still documenting how to set a mode manually when needed.
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.
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.
