All the latest MDriven Fixes and Updates

Improved filter functionality: "Filter associations" renamed to "Filter members" for better clarity. This filter now effectively filters all elements on the screen.
Enhanced performance during rendering by addressing inefficiencies caused by drawing during measuring.

Fixed an issue where the ViewModelEditor combo box name wouldn't update correctly when switching to "No-Category."

Implemented changes to significantly reduce the time taken for subsequent error checks in modlr. This optimization tracks locally changed elements, their potential effects, and only re-checks affected areas.

Checksum based codegen. This speeds up code generation by incorporating a checksum written to code checks.
Enhanced CodeGenGoverningInfo to identify code generation diffs even in scenarios where code generation wasn't performed (by you or someone else).

Improved the "Changes" button functionality within CloudForm. The process now begins with a quick checksum check, followed by an optional view of the checksum diff, and lastly, the optional view of upcoming database changes.

Fixed a deadlock issue in the Designer that occurred when error checking attempted to look up ViewModelNames for Class.ViewModels variables.
Resolved a long-standing WPF bug that prevented dragging elements from the debugger to the application. Unnecessary parameters were removed to address this issue.
Addressed a problem with a hardcoded backslash for Unix systems. The correct Path.DirectorySeparatorChar is now used.

Fixed an issue related to incorrect stopping of SignalR Core.
Implemented proper disconnect from SignalR upon page reload.
Added a client-side service shutdown to prevent communication with the server during page reload, avoiding potential interference with redirects.
Enhanced logging for SignalR events.

Resolved two separate null reference problems.
Improved logging helpers to ensure log files are available before logging attempts.
Addressed a hardcoded backslash issue for Unix systems, using Path.DirectorySeparatorChar for correct path handling.
Fixed a case-sensitivity problem within Turnkey paths for Linux.
Corrected two instances where MapPathService.MapPath was using the wrong slash type (forward slash needed for platform compatibility).
Adjusted advanced table inputs and navbar resizing.
Implemented a fix for image fallback behavior. A null image cannot be used directly, but a valid link is required for proper fallback image loading.
Improved navbar wrapping and styling for save bar buttons.
Adjusted navbar height to accommodate wrappable menu items.

Turnkey Toolbar: Introduced initial work on the ActionRenderPositionEnum Toolbar feature. This feature aims to categorize actions in the Turnkey UI:
Actions that navigate without data changes remain on the left side menu.
Actions that modify data, navigate, or involve saving/canceling/editing will be placed in a new horizontal toolbar below the main menu.
Adjusted CSS to ensure proper height calculation for the #viewmodelSection element.
Removed complex logic for main menu overflow handling. This will be replaced with CSS-based solutions.
Implemented a new method to prevent JavaScript execution during page reloads.
Defined the StartUpView concept for Turnkey Core, introducing a special page displayed while the application warms up. More details available here: https://wiki.mdriven.net/index.php?title=StartupViewTemplate
Moved the StartupViewTemplate_AppOverride.htm file to the views\turnkey\ directory for better organization.

Updated logging helpers to ensure they wait for log files to appear before logging attempts. This improves the reliability of logging messages.

MdrivenServer now automatically applies SSJobs (SQL Server Jobs?) on Evolve. This eliminates the need for the "Update Server-Side Jobs" button, streamlining the deployment process.

Introduced a significant change to how variables and validations are edited. They are now displayed in a tree structure for better organization and accessibility.

Resolved an issue with the "Toolbar mode" functionality (work in progress). More details and documentation are available here: https://wiki.mdriven.net/Documentation:MDriven_Framework
Fixed a problem within Turnkey, Modal DesignedButton with ExecuteFrameworkRuntimeActionRT.DoModalOk. The button's enable property now correctly reflects the enable expression of the designed action.

Addressed a code generation (Checksum) issue related to Statemachines, ensuring they are fully included in the process.
Continued improvements to the Checksum functionality:
Method Checksum calculations now exclude namespaces, improving accuracy.
Checksums for Enum types are now consistently represented as "ENUM."

Resolved a deadlock issue involving SysMDrivenMiscSettingsSingleton locks.
Fixed a bug that prevented updating validations in WPF when data changed for multiple columns. Validations are now consolidated for better efficiency.
Addressed a situation where SysAsyncTicket objects might have a null rootid value. This is now prevented by ensuring the referenced object gets a persistent ID.
Improved image download functionality using GetVMImageUrl when the application resides in a subfolder.
Enhanced error handling for ViewModelActions connected to Buttons. The server now searches for the action across all ViewModelClasses if not found in the initially provided one.
Updated the MySQL driver to version 8.3.0 to address reported Linux issues.
Defined the StartUpView constant.
