Updates desktop shell and application code for cross-Qt compatibility: uses begin/endFilterChange for Qt 6.10+, gates LayerShell usage to Qt < 6.5, and adds include handling for generated QML type registration files so nebula-shell builds reliably. Also fixes qInfo size formatting casts and updates README commands to invoke run-sway-vm.sh via `sh` for more portable execution.
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.
