Introduce a new LanMountainDesktop.Shared.IPC project implementing a public IPC host and client (LanMountainDesktopIpcClient, PublicIpcHostService), IPC constants and routed notify IDs, DTOs and DI helpers for registering public services. Update Plugin SDK to allow plugins to contribute public IPC services and registrations, add related descriptors/records and extension helpers. Migrate Launcher/App to use the new public IPC for startup/loading notifications and wiring (including TryConnect helper), switch LoadingStateReporter to use the external notification publisher, and add host-side public services (app info, shell control, plugin catalog). Include integration tests and spec/checklist/docs for the external IPC public API.
Introduce a per-user OOBE state model and hardened launch/elevation handling. Adds OobeStateFile/OobeLaunchDecision models, OobeStateService (persisting %LOCALAPPDATA%/.launcher/state/oobe-state.json), and LauncherExecutionContext to capture elevation and user SID. CommandContext now normalizes/infers launch-source values (normal, postinstall, apply-update, plugin-install, debug-preview) and exposes maintenance checks. LauncherFlowCoordinator propagates richer launcher context details for diagnostics and suppresses OOBE for elevated/maintenance contexts. PluginInstallerService avoids requesting elevation for user-scoped installs and returns a clear error when installation target is outside the current user's LocalAppData. LauncherClient maps and surfaces result codes, UpdateWorkflow and installer invocation now pass explicit --launch-source values, and WelcomeOobeStep persists OOBE completion via the new service. Adds unit tests (CommandContext, OobeStateService, PluginInstallerService), docs/specs/checklists for the contract, and makes internals visible to tests.
