0.13.4-alt1

- Added:
  Production-ready modules: CUPS, file management, INI config (default),
  package management, script modules
  Fallback SID lookup for trusted domain users
  Missing log translations (laps: timezone, login)
  Added ownership handling for files within user home directory
- Changed:
  Refactored to use literals ({}, []) instead of constructors
  Final optimization passes and minor cleanups
  Updated copyright year
  Adjusted login time search and messages
- Fixed:
  Skipped policy retrieval for trusted users to avoid GPO errors
  Corrected login time tracking in laps
  Fixed typos
  Prevented subprocess errors from printing to console
  Adjusted call order (save_dconf - start_frontend)
- Removed:
  Legacy sid variable propagation and related helpers
