Chore: Optimizations

[dayvster]

This pull request introduces several improvements across the build system, commit workflow, and application logic. The most significant changes are the addition of a commit message linter workflow, enhancements to the CMake build configuration (including better test integration and stricter warnings), and a substantial refactor of the AppReader logic for reading desktop entries. The changes also improve code organization, add new command-line options, and update the commit conventions documentation.

Build System and Workflow Improvements

• Added a GitHub Actions workflow (.github/workflows/commitlint.yml) that checks commit messages for compliance with the Conventional Commits standard, including support for the new bugfix and type types. This ensures consistent commit history.
• Enhanced CMakeLists.txt to export compile commands for tooling, introduced options for building tests and enabling strict compiler warnings, and improved test target integration for easier development and CI. [1] [2]

AppReader and Desktop Entry Handling

• Refactored and relocated AppReader logic from src/apps/readApps.cpp to src/core/apps/readApps.cpp and updated its interface. The new implementation supports expanded and deduplicated search paths, improved cache handling, and new options for including hidden/system apps. [1] [2] [3]
• Updated main.cpp to use the refactored AppReader, added command-line flags (--show-system, --dump), and improved frequency tracking with a new FrequencyStore abstraction. [1] F14305d6L31R31, [2] [3]

Code Organization and Usability

• Updated include paths throughout the codebase for consistency and modularity, especially after moving AppReader and related headers. [1] [2]
• Improved application startup and search logic for better performance, correctness, and user experience, including lazy row creation and robust fallback behaviors. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Documentation

• Updated CONTRIBUTING.md to clarify and promote the use of the new bugfix and type commit types, aligning documentation with the new commit linting workflow.
