The Qt GUI was unused: out of make-app-release since March, not built by
the gate, and its app bundle could not start (no platform plugin). Every
renderer and input change had to be made in it separately. kge is the
ImGui frontend only.
Removes QtFrontend/QtInputHandler/QtRenderer, the KTE_USE_QT option and
its #if branches (Command.cc, GUITheme.h, main.cc), the Nix qt package
and dev shell, the commented-out Qt release steps, the Qt frontend plan,
and Qt mentions in AGENTS.md, DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md, REWRITE.md and code
comments. Git history keeps the code.

- Added `ErrorRecovery.cc` and `ErrorRecovery.h` for retry and circuit breaker implementations.
- Enhanced swap file handling with transient error retries and exponential backoff (e.g., ENOSPC, EDQUOT).
- Integrated circuit breaker into SwapManager to gracefully handle repeated failures, prevent system overload, and enable automatic recovery.
- Updated `DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md` with comprehensive documentation on error recovery patterns and graceful degradation strategies.
- Refined fsync, temp file creation, and swap file logic with retry-on-failure mechanisms for improved resilience.
- Added a comprehensive error propagation standardization report detailing dominant patterns, inconsistencies, and recommended remediations (`docs/audits/error-propagation-standardization.md`).
- Integrated `ErrorHandler` into key components, including `main.cc` for robust exception reporting, and added centralized logging to a user state path.
- Introduced EINTR-safe syscall wrappers (`SyscallWrappers.h`, `.cc`) to improve resilience of file and metadata operations.
- Enhanced `DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md` with an error handling conventions section, covering pattern guidelines and best practices.
- Identified gaps in `PieceTable` and internal helpers; deferred fixes with detailed recommendations for improved memory allocation error reporting.
Update build environment to Alpine, enable GUI support, and refine developer guide
- Migrated Dockerfile base image from Ubuntu 22.04 to Alpine 3.19 for a smaller and faster container.
- Added dependencies for GUI support (SDL2, OpenGL/Mesa, Freetype, etc.) and updated CMake options.
- Enhanced `DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md` with new instructions for GUI builds, updated dependencies, and simplified custom build workflows.
- Addressed Alpine-specific ncurses library path issues in CMake configuration.
- Introduced a `Dockerfile` for setting up a minimal Ubuntu-based build environment with required dependencies.
- Added `docker-build.sh` script to simplify Linux build and test execution using Docker or Podman.
- Updated `DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md` with instructions for using Docker/Podman for Linux builds, including CI/CD integration examples.
Add benchmarks for core operations, migration edge case tests, improved
buffer I/O tests, and developer guide
- Introduced `test_benchmarks.cc` for performance benchmarking of key
operations in `PieceTable` and `Buffer`, including syntax highlighting
and iteration patterns.
- Added `test_migration_coverage.cc` to provide comprehensive tests for
migration of `Buffer::Rows()` to `PieceTable` APIs, with edge cases,
boundary handling, and consistency checks.
- Enhanced `test_buffer_io.cc` with additional cases for save/load
workflows, file handling, and better integration with the core API.
- Documented architectural details and core concepts in a new
`DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md`. Highlighted design principles, code
organization, and contribution workflows.
