ba5b29a35d Improve security and privacy with strict meta tags
This commit introduces two meta tags to strengthen the application's
security posture and enhance user privacy, following best practices and
OWASP recommendations.

- Add Content-Security-Policy (CSP) to strictly to strictly control
  which resources the application is allowed, mitigating the risk of
  code injection attacks such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).
- Add `referrer` meta tag to prevent the users' browser from sending the
  page's address, or referrer, when navigating to another site, thereby
  enhancing user privacy.

4765752ee3 Improve security and reliability of macOS updates
This commit introduces several improvements to the macOS update process,
primarily focusing on enhancing security and reliability:

- Add data integrity checks to ensure downloaded updates haven't been
  tampered with.
- Optimize update progress logging in `streamWithProgress` by limiting
  amount of logs during the download process.
- Improve resource management by ensuring proper closure of file
  read/write streams.
- Add retry logic with exponential back-off during file access to handle
  occassionally seen file system preparation delays on macOS.
- Improve decision-making based on user responses.
- Improve clarity and informativeness of log messages.
- Update error dialogs for better user guidance when updates fail to
  download, unexpected errors occur or the installer can't be opened.
- Add handling for unexpected errors during the update process.
- Move to asynchronous functions for more efficient operation.
- Move to scoped imports for better code clarity.
- Update `Readable` stream type to a more modern variant in Node.
- Refactor `ManualUpdater` for improved separation of concerns.
- Document the secure update process, and log directory locations.
- Rename files to more accurately reflect their purpose.
- Add `.DS_Store` in `.gitignore` to avoid unintended files in commits.

08dbfead7c Centralize log file and refactor desktop logging
- Migrate to `electron-log` v5.X.X, centralizing log files to adhere to
  best-practices.
- Add critical event logging in the log file.
- Replace `ElectronLog` type with `LogFunctions` for better abstraction.
- Unify log handling in `desktop-runtime-error` by removing
  `renderer.log` due to `electron-log` v5 changes.
- Update and extend logger interfaces, removing 'I' prefix and adding
  common log levels to abstract `electron-log` completely.
- Move logger interfaces to the application layer as it's cross-cutting
  concern, meanwhile keeping the implementations in the infrastructure
  layer.
- Introduce `useLogger` hook for easier logging in Vue components.
- Simplify `WindowVariables` by removing nullable properties.
- Improve documentation to clearly differentiate between desktop and web
  versions, outlining specific features of each.
