Ken Van Hoeylandt a0b2ee7ebc Run executables directly (#645)
- Apps can be launched directly from file paths (including Files app support)
- Added executable detection to identify unsupported or invalid binaries before launch.
- App startup is now streamlined through separate registered-app and direct-execution interfaces.
- Existing app launch points were migrated to the updated startup APIs.
