Desktop app uses Port: 0 which assigns a random OS port each launch. Since localStorage is origin-scoped, user preferences (theme, pinned resource kinds) were lost on every restart. Add server-side settings file at ~/.radar/settings.json and sync frontend state via REST API.
Query xdg-desktop-portal D-Bus interface to detect system color scheme on Linux and set GTK_THEME so WebKitGTK's prefers-color-scheme works on GNOME 42+. Add Wails Linux options with ProgramName and GPU policy OnDemand (fixes default Never when Linux is nil). Set MaxWidth/MaxHeight to 7680x4320 to prevent Wails auto-detection from constraining window sizing on Wayland.
PUT /api/settings was decoding into a fresh struct, so saving theme would zero out pinnedKinds and vice versa. Now decodes into the existing settings so only provided fields are overwritten. Also add console.warn logging to frontend catch blocks and backend settings.Load() for non-NotExist errors to aid debugging.
