Christoph Brandau 7408371430 feat(startup): enable startup clone requests from CLI and IPC
Adds startup clone support with a new clone request type and parsing.
It wires a CLI and IPC pathway to forward a clone to a running app.
UI and docs were updated to reflect startup clone behavior.

- Introduce StartupCloneRequest and argument parsing.
- Wire IPC to pass clone requests and clone on startup.
- UI updated to queue clone requests and trigger clone.

## Arch Linux
Install Gitty from the AUR with an AUR helper:
```bash
yay -S gitty-desktop
```
To install the prebuilt native Arch package instead of compiling from source:
```bash
yay -S gitty-desktop-bin
```
Or build the AUR package manually:
```bash
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/gitty-desktop.git
cd gitty-desktop
makepkg -si
```
The source recipe downloads the public Gitea release archive and builds Gitty.
The `-bin` recipe repackages the native `.pkg.tar.zst` release artifact. The
release pipeline updates both packages' versions, checksums, and `.SRCINFO`
files.
---
## Command line
Open an existing repository when Gitty starts:
```text
gitty.exe --repo "D:\Projects\ExistingRepo"
```
Clone a remote into an exact local target folder and open it immediately:
```text
gitty.exe --clone "https://example.com/team/project.git" "D:\Projects\Project"
gitty clone "git@example.com:team/project.git" "D:\Projects\Project"
```
`--clone=<REMOTE>` is also accepted. Relative target paths are resolved from
the current working directory. Clone and repository requests are forwarded to
the running window when Gitty is already open.
---
## Git LFS
Gitty bundles the `git-lfs` executable in its desktop installers and checks it
at runtime before offering LFS actions. Arch packages also declare `git-lfs` as
a dependency so Git hooks and command-line workflows outside Gitty use the same
extension. The repository toolbar exposes LFS setup, tracked patterns, object
downloads, and safe cache pruning. Normal clone, pull, checkout, and push
operations continue to use Git's standard LFS filters and pre-push hook. After
every successful pull, Gitty detects LFS usage and automatically downloads the
required LFS objects with the same remote and credentials, so no second pull is
needed.
---
## SigNoz telemetry
After the user opts in, Gitty sends privacy-filtered product events and technical errors as OTLP/HTTP JSON logs. Every Git/Tauri command is also captured as a trace span with its command name, duration and success state, but without command arguments or results. CPU utilization and resident memory usage of the Gitty process are sampled every 30 seconds and exported as OpenTelemetry gauges. The default endpoints are `https://telemetry.cbsk-tech.de/v1/logs`, `https://telemetry.cbsk-tech.de/v1/traces`, and `https://telemetry.cbsk-tech.de/v1/metrics`.
The SigNoz reverse proxy must forward all three paths to the Collector's OTLP/HTTP receiver (normally port `4318`). For development or a separate collector hostname, set `GITTY_OTLP_LOGS_ENDPOINT`, `GITTY_OTLP_TRACES_ENDPOINT`, and `GITTY_OTLP_METRICS_ENDPOINT` to the full signal URLs before starting Gitty.
Telemetry is non-blocking, bounded, disabled until consent is stored, and never includes repository paths, remote URLs, branch names, commit messages, diffs, file names, credentials, source code, URLs, or email addresses.
