• Reduced external dependencies and cleaner module structure

All Sentry integration has been removed, including:

The main module now exports three functions:

• showSetupScreens - Displays the onboarding flow
• setup - Main initialization function
• completeOnboarding - Marks onboarding as complete

• Significant module restructuring for better maintainability
• Removed monitoring and instrumentation code
• Simplified export structure
• Cleaner dependency graph

• Reduced bundle size due to removed dependencies
• Faster startup time without telemetry initialization
• More efficient module loading

• Improved Windows process spawning error handling
