ci: add permissions

- Add internal state tracking (_active_category, _active_manufacturer) to Sidebar
- Cmd+3/4 now restores previously selected category/manufacturer instead of always selecting first
- Manufacturer gray highlight remains when clicking a plugin (filter still active)
- Pressing Enter on plugin or sidebar now highlights plugin's categories
- All focus/selection uses proper selectionModel.setCurrentIndex with ClearAndSelect flag

+
+The sane Logic Pro plugin manager Apple forgot to build.
+
+## Features
+
+- Browse and organize Audio Units plugins
+- "Uncategorized" folder
+- Tree-like view for categories
+- Vim-style keyboard navigation (j/k/h/l)
+- Backup and restore plugin configurations
+- Native Plug-in manager feel with liquid glass UI
+
+## Install
+
+**Homebrew** (coming soon)
+
+**Manual**
+
+1. Download the latest `.dmg` from [Releases](https://github.com/kotikotprojects/illogical/releases).
+2. Drag the app to the **Applications** folder.
+3. **Right-click** the app and select **Open**. (You only need to do this once).
+
+⚠️ **If you see "App is damaged" error:**
+Run this command in Terminal:
+```bash
+xattr -cr /Applications/illogical.app
+```
+
+## Keyboard Shortcuts
+
+| Key | Action |
+|-----|--------|
+| `J/K` | Navigate up/down |
+| `H/L` | Collapse/expand |
+| `Shift+V` | Visual line mode |
+| `Cmd+F` | Search |
+| `Cmd+B` | Backup |
