Pull request overview
This PR adds a CLI command for launching the Staged application directly from the terminal, enabling users to quickly open repositories without navigating through the GUI. The feature includes both an installation mechanism through the application menu and automatic installation via the install script.
Changes:
- Added
bin/stagedCLI launcher script that finds and launches the app with a specified directory - Implemented backend support for CLI argument parsing and privilege-escalated CLI installation
- Integrated CLI installation into the application menu with user feedback dialogs
