chore: move project dependencies to reduce build size

[egalvis27]

What is Changed / Added

♻️ Reorganized Dependencies (runtime vs devDependencies)

Context: After merging the two package.json files into one, the build size increased by almost 50%. This reorganization was necessary to restore the original size by correctly separating runtime from development dependencies.

Reorganized dependencies based on actual runtime requirements by analyzing:

• Webpack externals configuration
• Main process imports
• Native module requirements
• Backend service dependencies

---

🔧 Technical Details

Webpack Configuration

// .erb/configs/webpack.config.base.ts
const nativeExternals = [
  '@gcas/fuse',       // Native FUSE bindings
  'better-sqlite3',   // Native SQLite3
  'reflect-metadata', // TypeORM requirement
  'typeorm',          // ORM with runtime reflection
];

These externals are not bundled by webpack, so they must remain as runtime dependencies. All other dependencies used in the main process are either:

• Bundled by webpack into main.js
• Provided by Electron's built-in modules
• Only used during development/testing

Why React/UI libraries moved to devDependencies

• Webpack bundles the entire renderer process into renderer
• React and all UI components are compiled and tree-shaken
• No runtime node_modules access needed for renderer

Backend dependencies kept in dependencies

• axios — Used by drive-server client and backup services
• express — Hydration API server runs at runtime
• diod — Dependency injection used throughout main process
• async, uuid, form-data, bottleneck, etc. — Used by main process services

🎯 Impact

	Before	After
Dependencies in .deb	45	18
Reduction in packaged deps	—	~60%
Reduction in .deb size	—	~50%

• ✅ No functional changes — all bundled code remains identical
• ✅ Electron-builder now packages only essential runtime dependencies
• ✅ Unnecessary React libraries (~30MB+) no longer included
