feat(ci): build styled macOS DMG headlessly via dmgbuild (#189)

- Add scripts/build-dmg.py using dmgbuild to generate DMGs with custom background art and icon locations without Finder AppleScript.
- Update .gitea/workflows/build-macos.yml and .github/workflows/build-macos.yml to package the .app bundle using dmgbuild in a headless virtual environment.
- Resolves missing DMG background in CI while preventing AppleScript GUI automation timeouts.

 - [x] **CGATS Dataset Import File Picker & State Synchronization (#211)**: Implemented native `select_dataset_file` command with `.ti3`, `.txt`, `.cgats`, and `.csv` filter, synchronized wizard target directory and basename upon import, and guarded against empty target states.

+- [x] **Atomic Verification History Persistence (#213)**: Hardened `quality_store.rs` with atomic temporary file writes (`.tmp`), explicit flush/sync, and atomic rename to prevent historical drift data loss or corruption upon unexpected system crashes.
+- [x] **Frontend Unit Testing & CI Integration (#215)**: Added standard `npm test` script executing the 3 frontend test suites (`profcheck`, `chartread`, and `gamut_viewer`) and integrated automated frontend test validation into macOS, Linux, and Windows CI workflows.
