clipboardwire v0.2.1 — tray works without config

on GitHub

A first-run UX fix on top of v0.2.0. No protocol changes; v0.2.0 hubs and clients interop with v0.2.1 unchanged.

What's fixed

The tray now starts up even without a valid config. v0.2.0's tray bailed if no config file existed, so a fresh MSI install (with the autostart shortcut firing on first sign-in) just made nothing visible happen — no icon, no dialog. v0.2.1 makes the tray come up first and recover from a missing or invalid config via menu actions:

• Edit config… — writes a placeholder config to the default location if none exists, then opens it in Notepad (Windows) / xdg-open (Linux) / open (macOS) so the user can fill in their server URL and password.
• Reload config — re-parses the config from disk and restarts the connection without quitting the tray.
• Quit clipboardwire — orderly shutdown.

The tooltip reflects state: it shows the server URL when connected, or "needs config (right-click → Edit config)" otherwise.

If the supervisor exits unexpectedly (e.g. an unrecoverable transport error), the tray icon stays alive instead of disappearing — you can right-click → Reload after fixing whatever's wrong.

Headless connect behavior unchanged

clipboardwire connect without --tray still hard-bails when there's no config, with a clear message pointing at the template file we wrote at the default path. That's the right UX at a terminal — the user can read the error.
