Excalidraw Desktop v2.0.1

Summary

This PR adds in-app AI support to Excalidraw Desktop, allowing users to generate diagrams from natural-language prompts without leaving the app.

It introduces a new AI chat experience in the frontend and a Tauri backend integration that sends prompts to supported AI providers, converts responses into structured Excalidraw elements, and inserts them directly into the canvas.

What Changed

• Added a floating AI chat button and modal chat interface inside the app.
• Added a provider configuration screen for saving API keys and choosing a default model provider.
• Added backend Tauri commands to:
• load AI configuration
• save AI configuration
• send AI messages and receive structured drawing output

Added support for multiple AI providers:
OpenAI
Anthropic
Google

Added schema-based structured output handling so AI responses can be converted into valid Excalidraw elements.

Added recent message context support to improve follow-up prompts in chat.

Updated scene integration so generated elements are inserted directly into Excalidraw.

Adjusted library loading behavior to avoid automatically opening the library menu after import.
