Desktop right-click menu (rexplorer --desktop) - #8

Conversation
Explorer keeps drawing the desktop; a low-level mouse hook takes right-clicks on its icon list and shows rexplorer's menu instead. Install adds a Startup shortcut so the helper runs at sign-in, and starts it. Rebased onto the install rollback: both shortcuts (Start menu and Startup) go through the install journal, so a rolled-back install removes or restores them. Install and uninstall close a running helper first and start it again afterwards: after a successful install from the new copy, after a failed one (rolled back or kept) only if one was running, from whichever copy is in place.

#6 changed Ctrl+T to open the start place instead of a copy of the current folder; the check still wanted the current folder's title and failed. It now wants Home's localized name (a scratch profile starts at Home). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_019arE4fu9tvTz5FQvK13PzQ

Adds
rexplorer --desktop: a per-session helper whose low-level mouse hook takes right-clicks on the desktop's icon list and shows rexplorer's context menu (the shell's verbs for selected icons, or View / Sort by / Refresh / Paste plus background verbs). Explorer keeps drawing the desktop, taskbar and Start.crates/core/src/desktop.rs: drives Explorer's desktop view throughIShellWindows(hit-test, selection, View / Sort by).crates/app/src/desktop.rs: the helper; the hook thread only classifies and posts, so it never stalls system mouse input. One helper per session (named mutex).<Startup>\rexplorer desktop menu.lnkand starts the helper.Rebased onto the install rollback (v0.1.2):
