# Description of Changes
Start bundled backend instantly on startup of app and don't wait on it
being fully up to spawn app. This is techincally wasteful curently on
self-hosted mode where everything runs remotely, but in the future we'll
probably route simple operations to the local machine regardless of
connection, and it stops unnecessary waiting in the offline mode.
# Description of Changes
Makes the desktop options to sign in with your Stirling account, or sign
into self-hosted:

/>
The first option still runs everything locally, just enforces that
you've signed in for now. Future work will enable sending operations
that can't be run locally to the server.
# Description of Changes
Changes the desktop app to allow connections to self-hosted servers on
first startup. This was quite involved and hit loads of CORS issues all
through the stack, but I think it's working now. This also changes the
bundled backend to spawn on an OS-decided port rather than always
spawning on `8080`, which means that the user can have other things
running on port `8080` now and the app will still work fine. There were
quite a few places that needed to be updated to decouple the app from
explicitly using `8080` and I was originally going to split those
changes out into another PR (#4939), but I couldn't get it working
independently in the time I had, so the diff here is just going to be
complex and contian two distinct changes - sorry 🙁
