Introduce a cross-platform platform layer and port scaffolding for macOS and Linux. CMakeLists.txt refactored to select platform sources, set executable type per OS, and use CEF helper macros for runtime deployment. Add platform/types.h, startup/paths/browser_host APIs and implementations for Windows, macOS, and Linux (many are stubs for mac/linux). Refactor app entry and lifetime to use nebula::platform::AppStartup (app/main, run.{h,cpp}), move window/browser host logic into platform/browser_host.*, and update NebulaController to use platform APIs (native handles, sizing, visibility, cache-busting token, etc.). Add README and detailed docs/cross-platform.md describing build layout and porting status.
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.
