Description
After https://github.com/sonnyp/Workbench/pull/220
In https://github.com/sonnyp/Workbench/pull/220 we added a safe mode. But it has to be manually updated. It can't be enabled if the app is in crash loop.
Let's add a crash detection mechanism and start the app in safe mode if it was detected.
Bonus point for adding a crash report button to a prefilled github issue.
If it works well we can remove the safe mode UI setting

Research direction
Start with pull request #220 and its safe mode implementation. Determine how the app can detect a crash loop and enable safe mode during startup; done means repeated crashes cause safe-mode startup, with the prefilled GitHub issue button as an optional addition.
