Release 4.1.7

* Improve robustness of submodule removal process

Refactors RemoveSubmodule to parse .gitmodules for submodule paths, handle removal steps more reliably, and provide clearer user feedback. The process now removes submodule entries from .gitmodules and .git/config, cleans up .git/modules, and commits changes automatically when possible. Error handling and user guidance have been improved for partial failures.

* Improve submodule update with async progress and cancellation

Refactors the UpdateSubmodule method to robustly list submodules by parsing .gitmodules, improves submodule existence checks, and replaces synchronous update execution with an asynchronous process that streams progress, handles errors, and allows user cancellation. Enhances user feedback and reliability during submodule updates.

* Improve branch switching robustness in GitController

Refactors the SwitchBranch method to robustly list local branches, handle errors when retrieving the branch list, and validate user input against available branches. Provides clearer error messages and prevents switching to non-existent branches.

* Improve branch merge UX and validation in GitController

Enhanced the MergeBranch method to robustly list branches, identify the current branch, and validate user input. Now excludes the current branch from merge candidates, checks for branch existence, and provides clearer user feedback and error handling.

Deleted the ConfigureService.cs file, which contained service configuration and logging setup for EasyKit. This may indicate a refactor or migration of service configuration responsibilities.

* Remove unused ServiceProvider field from Program.cs

The ServiceProvider field was declared but not used in Program.cs. This commit removes the unused field to clean up the code.

* Rename ProcessService to CmdService and update helper usage

Renamed ProcessService.cs to CmdService.cs and updated all references from ProcessExecutionHelper to CmdHelper to reflect the new naming and helper class. This improves clarity and aligns with the updated CommonUtilities.Helpers.Command namespace.

* Replace ProcessService with CmdService in controllers

Refactored all controller classes to use CmdService instead of ProcessService for process execution. Updated constructor dependencies and instantiations accordingly to ensure consistency across the application.

* Remove unused package references from project file

Deleted Serilog and System.Text.Json package references from EasyKit.csproj, likely because they are no longer needed or have been replaced.

* Bump version to 4.1.6 in project file

Updated AssemblyVersion and FileVersion in EasyKit.csproj from 4.1.5 to 4.1.6 to reflect the new release.

* Bump EasyKit version to 4.1.6 in installer scripts

Updated the MyAppVersion definition from 4.1.5 to 4.1.6 in Common.iss, Release-win-x64.iss, and Release-win-x86.iss to reflect the new application version.

Release 4.1.5

* Refactor NpmController to simplify npm installation checks

Removed redundant Node.js installation checks and related menu options. Now, if npm is not installed, the controller immediately opens the Node.js website and exits, streamlining the user experience. Also added an MIT license header to the file.

* Bump wrangler to 4.20.5 in website dependencies

Updated the wrangler devDependency from 4.20.0 to 4.20.5 in package.json and package-lock.json. This also updates related dependencies such as workerd, miniflare, and @cloudflare packages to their latest compatible versions.

* Update CommonUtilities submodule to latest commit

Advanced the CommonUtilities submodule pointer from 0e06b1d to 3456570 to incorporate the latest changes from the submodule.

* Refactor ProcessService to minimal process runner

Replaces the previous complex ProcessService with a minimal implementation focused on running external commands using system PATH. Removes configuration, diagnostics, and tool-specific logic, leaving only basic process execution and output streaming methods.

* Add new feature to process user input

Introduced a function to handle and validate user input, improving the robustness of the input processing workflow.

* Refactor process execution to capture output and errors

Updated process execution methods to use '/c' instead of '/k', disable shell execution, and capture standard output and error streams. Deprecated RunProcessInNewCmdWindow in favor of RunProcess, and improved error handling and logging for better diagnostics.

* Refactor process execution to use new cmd windows and streaming

Updated controllers to use RunProcessInNewCmdWindow for long-running or interactive commands (Composer, NPM, Artisan, Git), improving user experience by opening new terminal windows where appropriate. Switched to RunProcessWithStreaming for commands where immediate output is useful. Simplified error handling and removed deprecated or redundant logic. Updated ProcessService to properly open new cmd windows and removed obsolete attribute.

* Update CommonUtilities submodule to latest commit

Advanced the CommonUtilities submodule reference from 3456570 to e492dcb to incorporate the latest changes and improvements from the submodule.

* Refactor ProcessService to use ProcessExecutionHelper

* Bump version to 4.1.5 in project file

Updated AssemblyVersion and FileVersion in EasyKit.csproj from 4.1.4 to 4.1.5 to reflect a new release.

* Bump version to 4.1.5 in Inno Setup scripts

Updated the MyAppVersion definition from 4.1.4 to 4.1.5 in Common.iss, Release-win-x64.iss, and Release-win-x86.iss to prepare for a new release.

Release 4.1.4

* Update submodule

* Enhance submodule management with validation and feedback

Improves Add, Update, and Remove submodule operations by adding user prompts, validation checks, detailed error handling, and user guidance. Now checks for existing directories and submodule paths, provides suggestions for common errors, allows updating specific submodules, and gives step-by-step feedback and recovery instructions during removal. These changes make submodule management more robust and user-friendly.

* Improve submodule handling and error guidance

Enhanced the logic for adding submodules by providing options when the target directory exists and contains files, including removal, force add, or cancel. Improved error handling and user guidance for common submodule issues, such as invalid repositories, permission errors, and index conflicts. Added more detailed suggestions and retry mechanisms for failed submodule additions, and refactored code for clarity and user experience.

* Enhance submodule management with improved prompts and error handling

This update significantly improves the add, update, and remove submodule workflows in GitController. It adds detailed user prompts, more robust error handling, and interactive suggestions for resolving common issues (e.g., force-adding, cleaning up failed submodules, handling uncommitted changes, and switching between SSH/HTTPS). The update and removal processes now offer more granular options and recovery guidance, making submodule management more user-friendly and resilient.

* Bump version to 4.1.4 in project file

Updated AssemblyVersion and FileVersion in EasyKit.csproj from 4.1.3 to 4.1.4 to reflect a new release.

* Add custom setup icon to installer scripts

Set the SetupIconFile property in both Release-win-x64.iss and Release-win-x86.iss to use a custom icon for the installer.

* Remove optional desktop icon task from installer scripts

Eliminated the 'desktopicon' task and its association from both x64 and x86 Inno Setup scripts. The installer will now always create a desktop icon without prompting the user.

* Remove auto-launch after install from Inno Setup scripts

The post-install step to automatically launch the application has been removed from both the x64 and x86 Inno Setup scripts. This change prevents the app from starting immediately after installation.

* Refactor Inno Setup scripts to use shared Common.iss

Extracted common installer logic into a new Common.iss file and updated Release-win-x64.iss and Release-win-x86.iss to include it. This reduces duplication and centralizes shared configuration, making maintenance easier.
