Add session persistence and single-instance handling. Introduces browser/session_state.{h,cpp} to load/save a simple JSON session_state.json (limits restored tabs to 50, basic JSON parsing, atomic write via a .tmp rename). TabManager gains RestoreTabs and ActiveTabIndex to restore and track tabs. NebulaController now calls PersistSession on tab/title/activate/close events, flushes cookies on shutdown, and sets CEF runtime style to Alloy for embedded child browsers and devtools. run.cpp adds a named mutex to prevent multiple instances, enables persistent session cookies, and tweaks initial URL handling. Added GetSessionStatePath() to ui/paths and updated CMakeLists.txt to include the new source file.
Introduce core application structure and browser management: add NebulaController and run entry (src/app/*) to centralize window, tab and CEF lifecycle logic; implement TabManager and NebulaTab (src/browser/*) for tab creation, navigation and state tracking; add URL utilities (NormalizeNavigationInput, JsonEscape) and CEF browser client glue (src/cef/browser_client.cpp/.h) to forward chrome commands and content events. Update app/main.cpp to delegate startup to nebula::app::RunNebula. Add UI assets (chrome.html, chrome.css, chrome.js, lucide, menu-popup updates) and remove obsolete nebot.html. Update CMakeLists to include new sources, add ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/src to includes and link dwmapi on Windows. Overall this refactors startup and splits responsibilities for cleaner tab and browser lifecycle handling.
Add initial Nebula Browser project skeleton: CMakeLists to configure and link CEF (including post-build steps to copy runtime and UI files), a Windows CEF-based entry (app/main.cpp) that initializes CEF and loads the bundled UI, and a full ui/ and assets/ tree (HTML, CSS, JS, fonts, icons, and branding images). Update .gitignore to ignore build/out, thirdparty/cef, IDE and common OS artifacts.
