ci: migrate project automation to Just (#442)
* ci: migrate project automation to Just

Centralize build, test, release, dependency, hook, and website commands in Just recipes. Pin workflow tooling, use the repository toolchain, and run the complete validation set in CI.

* ci: codex being codex

* docs: update CLAUDE.md for just task runner migration

Reflect the switch to just recipes for build/test/clippy/fmt, note
dprint replacing raw rustfmt, and add a cross-platform code requirement.

* fix: resolve clippy warnings breaking CI on ubuntu and windows

Use clone() instead of implicit to_string() on already-owned String
values, gate the windows-only unused make_file_at import behind
cfg(posix), and fix unused mut / manual assign-op in the windows-only
localhost test.

* fix: fmt

# Themes
termscp lets you set the colors for several components in the application. There
are two ways to customize termscp:
- From the **configuration menu**
- Importing a **theme file**
## Customize from the configuration menu
To customize termscp from the configuration menu, enter the configuration from
the auth screen by pressing `<CTRL+C>`, then press `<TAB>` twice to reach the
`themes` panel. Move with `<UP>` and `<DOWN>` to select the style you want to
change, as shown in the gif below:
![Themes](https://github.com/veeso/termscp/blob/main/assets/images/themes.gif?raw=true)
## Import a theme file
You can also import theme files. You can take inspiration from, or directly use,
one of the themes bundled with termscp in the `themes/` directory of the
repository. Import a theme by running:
```sh
termscp theme <theme_file>
```
If everything is fine, termscp confirms the theme has been imported.
## Color syntax
termscp accepts the following color formats:
- Explicit hexadecimal: `#rrggbb`
- RGB: `rgb(r, g, b)`
- [CSS color names](https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_colors.asp) (such as
`crimson`)
- The special keyword `Default`, which uses the situational default foreground
or background color (foreground for texts and lines, background otherwise)
## Recovering from a theme that won't load
After an update, a saved theme can fail to load. This happens when a new key is
added to themes: the previously saved theme no longer contains that key. There
are two quick fixes:
1. Re-import the official theme. After each release the official themes are
patched, so download the updated theme from the repository and re-import it:
```sh
termscp theme <theme.toml>
```
2. Edit your theme by hand. If you use a custom theme, edit the file and add the
missing key. The theme is located at `$CONFIG_DIR/theme.toml`, where
`$CONFIG_DIR` is:
- FreeBSD/Linux: `$HOME/.config/termscp`
- macOS: `$HOME/.config/termscp`
- Windows: `%USERPROFILE%\.termscp`
Missing keys are reported in the CHANGELOG under `BREAKING CHANGES` for the
version you have just installed.
## Styles
The tables below describe each style field. Note that styles do **not** apply to
the configuration page, so it always remains usable in case you change something
by mistake.
