feat: add favorites with match-quality-aware ranking

 Applications are discovered in `/Applications`, `/System/Applications`, `/System/Library/CoreServices/Applications`, and `~/Applications`, including nested folders. Discovery runs off the UI thread and refreshes whenever the launcher is presented. Hidden items, invalid bundles, and helpers inside application packages are excluded; symlinked applications are deduplicated by their canonical paths.
 
-Search is case- and accent-insensitive. Ranking is exact name, full-name prefix, word prefix, ordered word initials, substring, then ordered-subsequence fuzzy matches. Fuzzy matches favor smaller gaps and earlier starts. Equally good text matches are ordered by successful launch count, then most recent launch, then alphabetically. Usage never promotes a weaker text match above a stronger one or changes which applications match. Hover over a result to see its path. Launch failures appear in a native alert without dismissing the launcher.

 Words are runs of letters or numbers separated by spaces, punctuation, or symbols. For example, `settings` matches the second word of System Settings, `gc` matches Google Chrome, and `ss` matches System Settings. Initials must occur in order but can skip words: both `vsc` and `vc` match Visual Studio Code.
 
-With an empty search, applications are ordered by successful launch count, then most recent launch, then alphabetically. Usage is stored locally in the app's preferences and survives restarts. Only launches through Conjure count; failed launches do not. Applications without history remain alphabetical.
+With an empty search, favorites appear first. Within both favorite and non-favorite groups, applications are ordered by successful launch count, then most recent launch, then alphabetically. Favorites and usage are stored locally by application bundle identity and survive restarts; copies with the same name remain independent. Only launches through Conjure count; failed launches do not. Applications without history remain alphabetical within their group.
 
 Background discovery preserves the selected application even if its row changes. If that application disappears, the first remaining result is selected. Changing the query or reopening the launcher selects the first result.

 Select an application and open **Actions ⌘K**. **Open** is the first, default-selected action and uses the same launch path, successful-launch history tracking, dismissal, and error reporting as Return in the application list. Filtering resets selection to the first matching action; an empty result does nothing on Return. Up/Down or Control-K/Control-J navigates actions without changing the selected application.
 
+- **Favorite / Remove Favorite** toggles the selected application's persisted favorite status, updates ranking immediately, and preserves the selection without recording a launch. Open remains the default action. Reset ranking clears usage but does not remove a favorite.
 - **Show in Finder** reveals the selected application bundle and dismisses the launcher without restoring the previous application's focus. Its icon is the native monochrome Finder glyph; macOS versions without that symbol use Finder's application icon.
 - **Reset ranking** clears only the selected bundle's launch count and last-launch timestamp, including persisted history. Results reorder immediately while retaining the selected application; other copies and applications keep their history. Future launches start counting again.
 - **Quit application** sends a normal macOS quit request to running instances of that exact bundle, not another copy with the same name or bundle identifier. A non-running application is a no-op. The launcher dismisses after an accepted request; the application may still present save prompts or cancel quitting. Rejected requests show a native alert. Conjure never force-quits the application.
