- Introduced a comprehensive specification for renaming `searchSpace` to `workspace` in `surfsense_web` and `surfsense_desktop`, ensuring all TypeScript identifiers, React props, and local data structures are updated.
- Implemented migration shims for persisted local state to prevent data loss during the transition.
- Updated observability metrics and IPC channels to reflect the new naming convention.
- Removed legacy `active-search-space` module and replaced it with `active-workspace` to maintain consistency.
- Ensured no behavioral changes or data loss for users during the renaming process.
- Added the ensure_publication function to create and verify the zero_publication if it is missing, ensuring idempotency during database initialization.
- Integrated ensure_publication into the create_db_and_tables function to prevent zero-cache crash loops on startup.
- Introduced a self-check script to validate the ensure_publication functionality on a create_all-bootstrapped database.
- Updated various components to reflect the transition from search space to workspace, including adjustments in imports and routing paths.
