  🚨 CRITICAL BUGFIX RELEASE - WorkDir Was Completely Broken

  This release fixes a showstopper bug where WorkDir configuration was ignored in 9 critical locations, causing restore failures on systems with small root filesystems.

  🔥 The Problem

  Your colleague couldn't restore backups because even with WorkDir configured, the application hardcoded /tmp everywhere. The WorkDir setting was completely useless. This made large restores fail with "no space left on device" even when the configured WorkDir had plenty of space.

  ✅ All Fixed Now

  Every single temp operation now respects WorkDir:

  1. ✅ Restore extraction (line 632) - Was using BackupDir instead of WorkDir!
  2. ✅ CLI restore/diagnose - Hardcoded /tmp
  3. ✅ Migration operations - Hardcoded /tmp
  4. ✅ Swap files - Hardcoded /tmp
  5. ✅ Debug logs - Hardcoded /tmp
  6. ✅ TUI directory browser - Hardcoded /tmp
  7. ✅ Backup fallback - Hardcoded /tmp
  8. ✅ Display messages - Showed /tmp even with WorkDir set
  9. ✅ Migration engine - Hardcoded /tmp

  🎯 New Helper Method

  Config.GetEffectiveWorkDir() // Returns WorkDir or falls back to system temp
  

  ⚙️ How to Use

  Config file:

  [backup]
  work_dir = /u01/dba/tmp
  

  Environment variable:

  export WORK_DIR=/u01/dba/tmp
  dbbackup restore cluster backup.tar.gz --confirm
  

  TUI Settings:
  Just run dbbackup and configure Work Directory in settings menu.
