feat: implement API-first settings management and description history tracking

- Migrated settings persistence from localStorage to an API-first approach, ensuring consistency between Electron and web modes.
- Introduced `useSettingsSync` hook for automatic synchronization of settings to the server with debouncing.
- Enhanced feature update logic to track description changes with a history, allowing for better management of feature descriptions.
- Updated various components and services to utilize the new settings structure and description history functionality.
- Removed persist middleware from Zustand store, streamlining state management and improving performance.
