This is a major upgrade with assorted things included.

- Navigation flows improved, search appears in URL history, cleared when navigating to another folder
- More efficient file list format for faster loads
- Efficient updates, never re-send full root another time (except at connection)

- File size coloring
- Fixed ZIP generation random glitches (thread race condition)
- Code refactoring, cleanup, typing fixes
- More tests

# Web File Storage
Run directly from repository with Hatch (or use pip install as usual):
```sh
hatch run cista -l :3000 /path/to/files
```
Settings incl. these arguments are stored to config file on the first startup and later `hatch run cista` is sufficient. If the `cista` script is missing, consider `pip install -e .` (within `hatch shell`) or some other trickery (known issue with installs made prior to adding the startup script).
Create your user account:
```sh
hatch run cista --user admin --privileged
```
## Build frontend
Frontend needs to be built before using and after any frontend changes:
```sh
cd frontend
npm install
npm run build
```
This will place the front in `cista/wwwroot` from where the backend server delivers it, and that also gets included in the Python package built via `hatch build`.
