Card view: 200px cards with 72px icons, .title-3 names, version+size
combined line, single priority badge, libadwaita .card class replacing
custom .app-card CSS.
List view: 48px rounded icons, .rich-list class, structured two-line
subtitle (description + version/size), single priority badge.
Detail view: restructured into ViewStack/ViewSwitcher with 4 tabs
(Overview, System, Security, Storage). 96px hero banner with gradient
background. Rows distributed logically across tabs.
Context menu: right-click (GestureClick button 3) and long-press on
cards and list rows. Menu items: Launch, Check for Updates, Scan for
Vulnerabilities, Integrate/Remove Integration, Open Containing Folder,
Copy Path. All backed by parameterized window actions.
