docs(electron): fix cross-repo confusion, remove misplaced file, update integration docs

- Remove tmp_shell_handlers.ts from SvelteKit repo — this was a draft of the
  Electron main-process shell handler that was placed in the wrong repo. It used
  ipcMain (Electron main-process only) and could never run in SvelteKit. Was not
  imported anywhere but was misleading.

- Fix src/lib/electron/README.md:
  - Correct broken doc link (was AE_EVENTS_LAUNCHER_NATIVE_INTEGRATION.md,
    actual filename is PROJECT__AE_Events_Launcher_Native_integration.md)
  - Mark electron_native.js as DEPRECATED — do not import (was described as
    active "Bridge Logic", which was incorrect and confusion-causing)
  - Add clear bridge architecture diagram showing the three-layer flow
  - Note that aether_app_native_electron/ is the active Electron repo

- Update PROJECT__AE_Events_Launcher_Native_integration.md:
  - Fix Layer 1 file path: aether_app_native/ → aether_app_native_electron/
  - Section 5.3: Phase 5 actuators are all implemented, not "planned" — update
    recording, display layout, power control, window control, wallpaper to reflect
    actual implementation status; note update_app is a stub
  - Section 7: Expand IPC whitelist to cover all relay functions including new
    cleanup_tmp_files, system handlers, and full parameter signatures
  - Document get_seed_config / get_jwt as intentionally not relayed to UI

# Aether Native Integration (Electron)
This directory contains the SvelteKit-side bridge for the Aether Native App (Electron). It provides the UI with access to OS-level capabilities required for the **Event Launcher**.
This directory contains the SvelteKit-side bridge for the Aether Native App (Electron).
It provides the UI with access to OS-level capabilities required for the **Event Launcher**.
## 📖 Technical Manual
For detailed architecture, lifecycle, and IPC specifications, see:
👉 **[AE_EVENTS_LAUNCHER_NATIVE_INTEGRATION.md](../../../documentation/AE_EVENTS_LAUNCHER_NATIVE_INTEGRATION.md)**
The native implementation lives in a separate repo:
`~/OSIT_dev/aether_app_native_electron/`

## File Manifest
| File | Role | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `electron_relay.ts` | **Messenger** | The TypeScript API used by Svelte components. Standardizes calls to `snake_case`. |
| `electron_native.js` | **Bridge Logic** | (Internal) Logic often used in the Preload or Renderer to facilitate IPC. |
| `electron_relay.ts` | **Active — Messenger** | The TypeScript API used by Svelte components. Standardizes all IPC calls to `snake_case`. This is the only file in this directory that should be imported. |
| `electron_native.js` | **DEPRECATED — Do not import** | Legacy V2/V4 reference file. The active native logic lives in `aether_app_native_electron/`. Kept for historical reference only. |
## 🚀 Usage Example
## Usage Example
```typescript
import { is_native, launch_from_cache } from '$lib/electron/electron_relay';
if (is_native) {
await launch_from_cache({
cache_root: $ae_loc.native_device.local_file_cache_path,
cache_root: $ae_loc.local_file_cache_path,
hash: file_obj.hash_sha256,
temp_root: $ae_loc.native_device.host_file_temp_path,
temp_root: $ae_loc.host_file_temp_path,
filename: file_obj.filename
});
}
```
## 🔐 Security Standards
- **Namespace:** All native functions are exposed via `window.aetherNative`.
- **Whitelisting:** Only specific intents (e.g., `launch_presentation`) are allowed.
- **Path Isolation:** All file operations are restricted to `[home]` and `[tmp]` via placeholder resolution.
## Security Model
- All native functions are accessed via `window.aetherNative` (contextBridge)
- Only explicitly whitelisted IPC channels are exposed — no arbitrary code execution
- Path isolation: all file operations use `[home]` / `[tmp]` placeholders resolved by the native bridge
- Context isolation is enabled; Node integration is disabled in the renderer
## Bridge Architecture (Three Layers)
```text
Svelte Component
└── electron_relay.ts (this directory — typed wrappers, snake_case API)
└── window.aetherNative (contextBridge whitelist in preload/index.ts)
└── ipcMain handlers (aether_app_native_electron/src/main/*.ts)
```
