Add full windowed version of the app #24

Description

@Peyton-Spencer

Currently mac-runner only exists as a status bar app. It would be useful to have a full windowed version for better visibility and interaction.

Proposed features:

  • Main window showing all runners with more detail than status bar menu
  • Larger, easier-to-read status display (IDLE/EXECUTING badges)
  • Potentially show recent job history, logs, or activity
  • Could be toggled/launched from status bar menu

Use cases:

  • Monitoring runner activity without clicking through menus
  • Debugging runner issues with more detailed information
  • Managing multiple runners more easily
  • Better experience on external displays

Implementation considerations:

  • Should status bar remain as primary interface with window as optional?
  • Keep it focused on monitoring/status (not configuration)
  • Use Electron's BrowserWindow for the main window
  • Window could be shown/hidden from status bar menu
