v0.4.18: Self-contained binary and simplified startup

What's New

Self-Contained Binary (Fixes #8)

Pre-built binaries now auto-start PostgreSQL when the database isn't running. No more manual Docker setup required.

• Binary embeds compose.yml at compile time and writes it to the app data directory on first run
• Automatically detects if database is unreachable and starts it via docker compose up -d
• Polls database readiness with retry loop (30s timeout) before connecting
• Supports both docker compose (v2 plugin) and standalone docker-compose with automatic fallback
• App data stored in platform-standard directories (~/.local/share/neura-hustle-tracker/ on Linux)
• Backward compatible: existing .env in project directory (from just run workflow) takes priority

Embedded Migrations

• Database migrations are now compiled into the binary via include_str! — no external files needed at runtime
• Daemon binary now also runs migrations on startup (previously skipped)

Simplified Startup Scripts (Fixes #9)

• Linux .desktop: Removed Alacritty, tmux, xdotool, and hardcoded path dependencies. Daemon runs headless.
• New systemd user service: neura-tracker.service as an alternative to .desktop autostart
• macOS .plist: Removed osascript wrapper, find command, and 30-second sleep. Direct daemon launch with crash recovery.

Improved Error Messages

• Fixed stale make daemon-status references, now points to docker ps
• Clearer guidance when database connection fails

Documentation

• Added troubleshooting section to README (database errors, pre-built binary setup, port conflicts, Wayland, macOS permissions)
• Updated pre-built binary and Start on Boot sections

Dependencies

• Updated all dependencies to latest versions
