Remove the desktop taskbar (#4605)
* Remove the desktop taskbar

The desktop no longer has a taskbar. Windows on /desktop can't be
minimized, since nothing could bring them back; the dashboard still
minimizes into app tiles. The desktop and maximized windows use the
full page height.

Backend: POST /update-taskbar-items is removed, and /whoami and the
login response no longer include taskbar_items. The user table's
taskbar_items column stays until a migration drops it.

puter.ui.createWindow() still accepts show_in_taskbar, which has no
effect and is marked deprecated.

* Keep desktop backdrops above ordinary windows

A backdrop's z-index used to take the taskbar's as a floor, which kept
modal dialogs on /desktop above every ordinary window, including ones
focused after the dialog opened. Keep that floor on the desktop; the
dashboard and fullpage mode stack as before.

Also drops commented-out geometry that referenced window.taskbar_height,
and a dashboard comment about the removed fullpage minimize rule.

* Keep dropped desktop icons fully on screen, and fill the phone popover

A desktop icon drop is accepted only where the whole item fits above the
bottom edge. Phone popovers use the full viewport height.

Puter provides everything you need to build and publish web apps and games. From AI to Cloud Storage and Database to Serverless Workers, Puter has you covered. Puter also helps you get users! Once you build your app, you can publish it on our App Store to reach and monetize users.


Getting Started

💻 Local Development

git clone https://github.com/HeyPuter/puter
cd puter
npm install
npm start

→ This should launch Puter at http://puter.localhost:4100

To run this checkout with Docker, follow Building from source. Create a local docker-compose.override.yml to select the local build; keeping these settings out of docker-compose.yml avoids conflicts when pulling updates and keeps local configuration out of pull requests.
