Enhance application initialization and theme management

- Updated `ThemeVariant` enum to support serialization and deserialization.
- Refactored `App::new` to load settings from file and always start in Main state.
- Improved modal handling for settings, ensuring a cleaner user experience.
- Added theme toggling functionality across all states, excluding Error state.
- Simplified rendering logic for main content and footer, focusing on user guidance.
- Implemented auto-save for settings after any changes, with error logging.
- Adjusted provider readiness checks to only affect UI content, not app state transitions.
