Complete Clean Architecture migration

Phase 1-7: Full migration from src/app/ to Clean Architecture

BREAKING CHANGES:
- Removed src/app/ (old TEA-style implementation)
- Removed src/constant.rs (constants now local to modules)
- Removed deprecated canvas_to_image_coords functions

NEW STRUCTURE:
- src/ui/           - UI Layer (COSMIC interface)
- src/application/  - Application Layer (DocumentManager, Commands)
- src/domain/       - Domain Layer (Document types, Operations)
- src/infrastructure/ - Infrastructure Layer (Loaders, Cache, System)

FEATURES:
- DocumentManager as Single Source of Truth
- Command Pattern for all operations
- Model caching for render data (performance)
- Sync mechanism between DocumentManager and UI Model
- Wallpaper support (COSMIC, KDE, GNOME, feh)
- Thumbnail cache with disk persistence

IMPROVEMENTS:
- Warnings: 62 → 43 (-31%)
- Deprecated warnings: 2 → 0 (-100%)
- Code removed: src/app/ (~2000 lines), constant.rs, deprecated functions
- Better Locality of Reference (constants local to modules)
- Clean separation of concerns
- No circular dependencies

DOCUMENTATION:
- Updated AGENTS.md (100% migration status)
- Updated README.md (architecture section)
- Updated Workflow.md
- Added Migration-Plan.md with full completion summary

TESTS:
- All 41 tests passing
- Build successful (0 errors, 43 warnings)
- Release build verified

Migration Status: ✅ 100% Complete
