### Description

The Application system for launching is becoming very difficult to understand (prep/detatched/normal commands, configuration flags and such).

Idea from @TheElixZammuto

> A flowchart-like editor (think zapier/n8n) to define the order of commands for an app. Some other features can be templates and import/export directly from Steam, Playnite and Lutris

Research direction

Start by mapping the application launch system, including prep, detached, and normal commands, configuration flags, and their current relationships. Define what the proposed flowchart-like editor and Steam, Playnite, and Lutris import/export should cover, then confirm that the launch flow and integrations are represented consistently.
