Update Free Loader to 1.6.0

Fixing the sins in the Free Loader source code now that my day job is in Typescript and I finally had a free weekend. I'm also more than open to feedback on the new UI as it's a pretty big change and I am decidedly not a frontend developer.

Notable Changes

Amazon Prime Support (jwhitlow45/free-loader#1)

• Free games from Amazon Prime are now shown alongside the other stores, with their own store toggle
• Amazon Prime games are sourced from the free and open-source LootScraper project, as GamerPower does not cover them
• Amazon Prime prices are shown in euros, as that is the only currency LootScraper provides

New Look

• Redesigned game cards with full-width artwork, store icons, and a Steam-style FREE badge shown next to the original price
• Compacted game details into a single line, e.g. "Steam · 2d", with time remaining counting down through days, hours, and minutes as a giveaway nears its end
• Hidden games are now dimmed and marked with an eye icon instead of a text label
• Added a loading spinner and friendlier messages when there are no games or the list fails to load
• Added an "Updated 2h ago" note under the action buttons and a spinning refresh icon while an update is running
• QR codes now return to the game art when moving to another game, so only one QR code is ever on screen
• Update frequency is now set with native sliders instead of arrow buttons
• Clear Games Database and Restore Settings now ask for confirmation first
• Store toggles are ordered Steam first, then alphabetically, and "Notify on Free Games" is now "Enable Notifications"

Accessibility

• Added an Accessibility settings section
• Added a Larger Text mode that increases text size across the games list (defaults to off)
• Added a Disable Animations toggle that turns off all plugin animations (defaults to off)

Behavior

• Clicking a toast notification now opens the plugin in the quick access menu
• Update frequency is now honored across restarts by scheduling from the last update time, instead of updating on every boot
• Games list updates no longer freeze the rest of the plugin on a slow connection
• The plugin now recovers automatically from a corrupted games database instead of failing until manually cleared
• An update frequency of zero can no longer be set

Bugs

• Fix section headers on the settings page hiding behind the top bar after scrolling
• Fix stray "(Itchio)" and "(itchio)" markers being left in some game titles
• Fix the back button in the plugin header fading out on its right side
• Fix the "Cleared games database" toast showing before the database was actually cleared

Nerd stuff

• Migrated to the current Decky SDK: @decky/ui and @decky/api on the frontend, the decky module with api_version 1 on the backend
• Deal sources are fetched independently and merged, so one source failing cannot wipe the other source's cached games or hidden flags
• The Amazon feed is parsed with regex, as Decky's bundled Python does not ship xml.etree
• Enabled TLS certificate verification on GamerPower requests using the system CA bundle, with fallbacks for bundled Pythons
• Added a 15 second HTTP timeout and moved deal updates into a thread, with locked, atomic writes to the deals database
• The User-Agent string now reads its version number from package.json instead of hardcoding it
• Added settings_read so the frontend loads all settings in one backend call instead of eleven
• Reworked the games list to store deal data instead of rendered elements, and the settings page to use React state instead of module globals
• Fix update timers leaking across plugin reloads and orphaned intervals from concurrent updates
• Game panels are now keyed by deal id so panel state cannot attach to the wrong game
• Namespaced animation keyframes to stop clashing with Steam UI styles
• Store title markers are now matched case-insensitively
• Lowered log noise from setting reads and unparseable end dates
• Added unit tests for deal formatting plus a make test target
• Updated the toolchain to rollup 4, TypeScript 5, and React 18 types

This looks good for testing, thanks :)

You will need to rebase on top of latest changes, BTW. Microsoft broke our CI up until a couple of days ago :)

Okay, should be good to go now. Sorry for the push noise I was fighting a GPG key signing issue.
