⚙️ System Integration

• System Tray Icon: Runs conveniently in the KDE Plasma system tray.

• Tray Menu: Right-click the tray icon to quickly show the app, open settings, or quit.

🔧 Utilities & Configuration

• Pause/Resume: A "Stop" / "Start" button to pause and resume all real-time monitoring to save resources.
• Settings Panel: A simple dialog to configure alerts (CPU temp, sensor temp).
• Export Logs: A button to export the application's collected data to a .csv file.
• Persistent Config: Saves your settings to ~/.config/plasmasys/settings.json.
