Adds postflight and uninstall_postflight stanzas to char and char@nightly casks to force-refresh the LaunchServices database and restart the Dock. This ensures the Dock displays the correct app name/icon after install, fixing stale cache from the previous 'Hyprnote' name. Co-Authored-By: John <john@hyprnote.com>

Summary
Adds
postflightanduninstall_postflightstanzas to thecharandchar@nightlyHomebrew casks. After install, the cask force-registers the app with macOS LaunchServices (lsregister -f) and restarts the Dock, which clears stale cached names/icons (e.g. the old "Hyprnote" name persisting in the Dock). On uninstall, it unregisters the app and restarts the Dock.This addresses the issue where macOS Dock still displays "Hyprnote" after installing the renamed app.
Review & Testing Checklist for Human
brew install --cask charand verify the Dock shows the correct app name after install (not cached "Hyprnote"). This cannot be tested on Linux.killall Dockcauses a brief visual flicker as the Dock restarts. Confirm this is acceptable during install.char.rbstill hasapp "Hyprnote.app"(bundle not yet renamed). When the bundle name changes toChar.app, the postflight paths will need to be updated to match.Notes
hyprnote.rbandhyprnote@nightly.rbcasks were intentionally not modified since those casks correctly show the "Hyprnote" name.must_succeed: falseonkillall Dockensures the install doesn't fail if the Dock process isn't running (e.g. headless CI).Link to Devin Session: https://app.devin.ai/sessions/04c4d6674dc54243945b5b6068018396
