* feat: make the dashboard the default interface at root The dashboard now loads at / (with /dashboard kept as an alias), and the desktop moves to a new /desktop route. An "Open Desktop" button pinned at the bottom of the dashboard sidebar switches to the desktop. Root URLs that carry a desktop-only flow keep booting the desktop: auth popups (?embedded_in_popup=), app deep links (?app=), direct downloads (?download=), fullpage mode (?puter.fullpage=), and iframe embeds. Desktop-context redirects are retargeted so desktop users stay on the desktop: logout, the QR "continue on phone" link, the auth cover-page logo click, and window close/hide URL resets now use /desktop. OIDC login/signup gains a strictly whitelisted return_to param (/desktop or /dashboard) so social login returns to the interface it started from. Also: the dashboard strips ?ref= like the desktop does, ?auth_token= cleanup preserves the path and tab hash, the logged-out session list gets the wallpaper back, ?download= also works at /desktop, and the GUI dev server serves /desktop and /dashboard. * Add Open Desktop bento card and CSS Replace the previous desktop-switch UI with a full-width "Open Desktop" bento card that links to /desktop. Removes the pinned sidebar Open Desktop button and the old desktop-switch button/handler, and adds new CSS variables and styles for the desktop card (icon background, shadow, surface/header colors), hover shadow and arrow transition, and layout/padding adjustments. Changed files: TabHome.js (removed old switch, added anchor card), UIDashboard.js (removed sidebar button), dashboard.css (new desktop color vars and styles; removed legacy desktop-switch/button styles). * Remove box-shadow from myapps search input Delete the box-shadow declarations from input.myapps-search::placeholder in dashboard.css. This simplifies the placeholder styling (removes subtle and light shadow layers), likely to reduce visual noise or fix rendering inconsistency. * Show index_url hostname for opaque app IDs Only replace an app's title with the hostname from index_url when the app appears to use an opaque id. Add a check for names starting with 'app-' so the hostname is used only if title, name and uuid are identical and the name looks like an opaque app id. This avoids overwriting meaningful user-facing names that may coincidentally match the uuid and clarifies the intent in the comment. * Update dashboard.css
