Add dedicated Enums page covering string/integer/type-alias enums,
$zero values, struct field typing, imported package enums, supported
types, and limitations. Fix inaccurate enum section in Data Models
page and add both Data Models and Enums to sidebar navigation.

* feat(v3): add server mode for headless HTTP deployment
Server mode allows Wails applications to run as pure HTTP servers
without native GUI dependencies. Enable with `-tags server` build tag.
Features:
- HTTP server with configurable host/port via ServerOptions
- WAILS_SERVER_HOST and WAILS_SERVER_PORT env var overrides
- WebSocket event broadcasting to connected browsers
- Browser clients represented as BrowserWindow (Window interface)
- Health check endpoint at /health
- Graceful shutdown with configurable timeout
- Docker support with Dockerfile.server template and tasks
Build and run:
wails3 task build:server
wails3 task run:server
wails3 task build:docker
wails3 task run:docker

* fix(v3): overhaul drag-and-drop for Linux reliability and simplify Windows
This commit fixes drag-and-drop reliability on Linux and simplifies the
Windows implementation.
## Linux
- Rewrite GTK drag handlers to properly intercept external file drops
- Fix HTML5 internal drag-and-drop being broken when file drop enabled
- Add hover effects during file drag operations
- Fix multiple app instances interfering with each other
## Windows
- Remove native IDropTarget in favor of JavaScript approach (matches v2)
- File drops now handled via chrome.webview.postMessageWithAdditionalObjects
## All Platforms
- Rename EnableDragAndDrop to EnableFileDrop
- Rename data-wails-drop-target to data-file-drop-target
- Rename wails-drop-target-active to file-drop-target-active
- Add comprehensive drag-and-drop documentation
## Breaking Changes
- EnableDragAndDrop -> EnableFileDrop
- data-wails-dropzone -> data-file-drop-target
- wails-dropzone-hover -> file-drop-target-active
- DropZoneDetails -> DropTargetDetails
- Remove WindowDropZoneFilesDropped event (use WindowFilesDropped)
* feat(macos): optimize drag event performance with debouncing and caching
- Add 50ms debouncing to limit drag events to 20/sec (was 120/sec)
- Implement window implementation caching to avoid repeated lookups
- Maintain existing 5-pixel threshold for immediate response
- Keep zero-allocation path with pre-allocated buffers
- Rename linuxDragActive to nativeDragActive for clarity
- Update IMPLEMENTATION.md with optimization details and Windows guidance
Performance improvements:
- 83% reduction in event frequency
- ~6x reduction in CPU/memory usage during drag operations
- Maintains smooth visual feedback with InvokeSync for timer callbacks
* fix(windows): implement proper file drop support for Windows
- Remove incorrect AllowExternalDrag(false) call that was blocking file drops
- Fix message prefix from 'FilesDropped' to 'file:drop:' to match JS runtime
- Fix coordinate parsing for 'file:drop:x:y' format (indices 2,3 not 1,2)
- Add enableFileDrop flag injection to JS runtime during navigation
- Update JS runtime to check enableFileDrop flag before processing drops
- Always call preventDefault() to stop browser navigation on file drags
- Show 'no drop' cursor when file drops are disabled
- Update example to filter file drags from HTML drop zone handlers
- Add documentation for combining file drop with HTML drag-and-drop
* fix(v3): block file drops on Linux when EnableFileDrop is false
- Add disableDND() to intercept and reject external file drags at GTK level
- Show 'no drop' cursor when files are dragged over window
- Allow internal HTML5 drag-and-drop to work normally
- Initialize _wails.flags object in runtime core to prevent undefined errors
- Inject enableFileDrop flag on Linux and macOS (matching Windows)
- Fix bare _wails reference to use window._wails
- Update docs with info about blocked drops and combining with HTML DnD
* fix(darwin): add missing fmt import in webview_window_darwin.go
* fix(macOS): implement hover effects for file drag-and-drop with optimizations
- Added draggingUpdated: handler to track mouse movement during drag operations
- Implemented macosOnDragEnter/Exit/Over export functions for real-time hover state
- Fixed JS function call from '_wails.handlePlatformFileDrop' to correct 'wails.Window.HandlePlatformFileDrop'
- Added EnableFileDrop flag checks to prevent hover effects when file drops are disabled
- Renamed linuxDragActive to nativeDragActive for cross-platform consistency
Performance optimizations:
- Added 50ms debounce to reduce event frequency from ~120/sec to ~20/sec
- Implemented 5-pixel movement threshold for immediate response
- Added window caching with sync.Map to avoid repeated lookups
- Zero-allocation JavaScript calls with pre-allocated 128-byte buffer
- Reduced memory usage to ~18 bytes per event (6x reduction)
Build improvements:
- Updated runtime Taskfile to include documentation generation
- Added docs:build task to runtime build process
- Fixed build order: events → docs → runtime
Documentation:
- Added IMPLEMENTATION.md with optimization details
- Included guidance for Windows implementation
* chore(v3/examples): remove html-dnd-api example
The drag-n-drop example now demonstrates both external file drops
and internal HTML5 drag-and-drop, making this separate example redundant.
* docs(v3): move drag-and-drop implementation details to runtime-internals
- Add drag-and-drop section to contributing/runtime-internals.mdx
- Remove IMPLEMENTATION.md from example (content now in proper docs)
- Covers platform differences, debugging tips, and key files
* fix(v3): remove html-dnd-api from example build list
* fix(v3): remove duplicate json import in application_darwin.go
* fix(v3): address CodeRabbit review feedback
- Fix docs to use app.Window.NewWithOptions() instead of deprecated API
- Add mutex protection to dragOverJSBuffer to prevent race conditions
- Add mutex protection to dragThrottleState fields for thread safety
* docs: add coderabbit pre-push requirement to AGENTS.md
* fix(v3/test): use correct CSS class name file-drop-target-active
* chore(v3/test): remove dnd-test directory
This was a development test file that shouldn't be in the PR.
The drag-n-drop example serves as the proper test case.
* docs(v3): update Windows file drop comment to reflect implemented fix
Remove stale TODO - enableFileDrop flag is now injected in navigationCompleted
* refactor(v3): make handleDragAndDropMessage unexported
Internal method only called by application event loop, not part of public API.
