[Unreleased]

Robust drift detection & reconciliation:
- Baseline snapshot: the backend records a baseline ~/.bazzite/base_packages.txt at environment creation to filter out base image packages.
- Machine-readable package queries for user-installed packages (primary + fallback):
  - Fedora/DNF: dnf repoquery --userinstalled --qf '%{name}\n' (primary) → fallback rpm -qa --queryformat '%{NAME}\n'.
  - Debian/APT: apt-mark showmanual (primary) → fallback dpkg-query -f '${binary:Package}\n' -W.
  - Arch/Pacman: pacman -Qqe (primary) → fallback pacman -Qq.
  - Alpine/APK: apk info.
- Diffing formula: (Current Packages - Baseline Packages) - Manifest Packages = Drift.
- Fallbacks emit a fallback_used flag returned by detect_environment_drift so the UI can warn users when a conservative fallback was necessary.
Manifest normalization and seeding:
- Manifest package entries are normalized (trimmed and lowercased) on creation and when updating, preventing case/whitespace mismatch drift.
- Environment templates now seed .envstation.json with template base packages so newly scaffolded projects have zero day‑one drift.
DevContainer scaffolding derived from manifest:
- devcontainer.json postStartCommand content is built from the manifest (not hardcoded), ensuring DevContainer hooks align with the manifest.
Frontend improvements:
- ManagePackagesModal now consumes fallback_used and displays a warning banner when a fallback was used during drift detection.

Replaced brittle, human-oriented package-manager parsing with low-level database queries and added primary→fallback logic with warnings.
Drift detection and baseline initialization use the new machine-readable commands and normalization pipeline.
Documentation updated: ARCHITECTURE.md and README.md describe the new reconciliation strategy and guidance for UI behavior.

Eliminated false-positive drift from transitive dependencies by switching to user-installed package queries.
Resolved day‑one drift by seeding manifests with template packages and syncing DevContainer generation from the manifest.

C# / .NET scaffolding: minimal Program.cs and project file targeting .NET 8.0. Generated DevContainer and Distrobox scaffolds use the official .NET SDK image and recommend the VS Code C# extensions.
Dynamic package manager detection: the backend probes the target environment and picks the appropriate package manager (dnf/apt/apk/pacman, etc.) when performing live installs.

Bumped application/package versions to 1.0.0 across package.json, src-tauri/tauri.conf.json, and displayed About modal.
Updated README installation examples and CI/CD example in ARCHITECTURE.md.

This release focuses on improved scaffolding for .NET developers and more robust package-install flows across different container images.
