Polish & Sidebar Fix
A focused patch addressing a visual bug in the app sidebar and improving how the version number is displayed in-app.
Bug Fixes

- Version display: App sidebar now shows the correct current version number dynamically instead of a hardcoded value.
Under the Hood
- Logo asset now imported via Vite's asset pipeline for proper path resolution under Electron.
- Version number injected at build time from package.json — no more manual updates needed.
- Auto-updater delivers this patch to all existing v2.2.x users automatically.
