Nariman Jelveh fb9e7d70c6 Open apps from the embedded app browser at their own URL (#4510)
* Open apps from the embedded app browser at their own URL

Selecting an app in the /embed/apps browser now opens it in a new tab at
its index_url, with the same launch params the dashboard's tab launch
uses, instead of the GUI's /app/<name> landing. The tab is opened inside
the click and without noopener; the app's SDK asks the embed for its
token through the opener, so the token stays out of the URL.

Apps that need the desktop (built-in and godmode apps, private apps the
user can't open, or a failed token request) still open /app/<name>, with
the tab's opener cleared. Website shortcuts are unchanged.

The app URL, the app token request and the /rao report move out of
launch_app into helpers without desktop globals (appLaunchUrl.js,
appLaunchApi.js), so launch_app and the embed build the same URL.
uuidv4 moves to a helper the embed can import.

* Tag app launches with utm_medium and a utm_campaign naming the launch surface

Apps now get utm_medium=referral and utm_campaign=desktop, dashboard, or
app_browser_embed alongside utm_source=puter.com, so their analytics can
tell where in Puter they were opened from.

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.
