What is new in Mac Monitor 1.0.0

First public release.

### Added
- Menu-bar item showing live network speed (↓/↑), RAM % or CPU %, in a fixed-width
 Retina-crisp template image.
- Dashboard popover with Memory (composition bar, swap, pressure graph), Processor
 (per-core bars), Network (speed, totals, local IP), Storage (capacity, disk I/O) and
 Top apps cards.
- Full window mode with sidebar (Dashboard / Insights / Settings) and extra detail:
 CPU split, load average, processes/threads, packets, per-interface totals, IOPS,
 Battery and GPU cards.
- Insights: RAM and CPU history charts with now / average / peak, and critical-pressure
 minutes over 24 h, persisted across restarts.
- Memory cleaning with `purge`: on demand, or automatically only at critical memory
 pressure (opt-in). Optional single-command sudoers rule for silent cleaning.
- Critical-pressure notifications (opt-in).
- English, Russian and Uzbek UI, switchable live.
- Settings for menu-bar metric, update rate, network unit, card visibility and launch
 at login (LaunchAgent), grouped into sections. Warns when auto-clean is on but the
 sudoers rule is missing.
- First-launch welcome window and a styled drag-to-install DMG.
- Universal binary (Apple Silicon + Intel) for macOS 13 Ventura and later.
- Lightweight sampling: about 1% CPU in normal use. Hidden views don't re-render, and
 `ps` and disk-capacity queries run off the main thread.
