In `@crates/cardwire-gui/src/helpers/dbus.rs`:
- Around line 296-299: Update the request-name match around
request_name_with_flags to handle Ok(RequestNameReply::Exists) explicitly as the
existing-instance path, rather than allowing it through the generic Ok(_) arm
that creates AppInstance without ownership. Preserve the existing handling for
successful ownership and request errors.
- Around line 304-311: Update the activate_existing branch in
AppInstance::acquire so a zbus::Error::NameHasNoOwner from the Activate call
retries AppInstance::acquire(activate_existing) exactly once; propagate
MethodError and all other activation errors unchanged, while preserving the
existing Ok(None) behavior on successful activation.
In `@crates/cardwire-gui/src/main.rs`:
- Line 41: Update the AppInstance::acquire invocation so a normal cardwire-gui
CLI launch does not activate or exit because of an existing instance. Add and
use an explicit launcher activation mode or pass an explicit activation flag
from the launcher, while preserving activation behavior only for genuine
application-launcher invocations.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Do not activate an existing instance for a normal CLI launch.
For cardwire-gui without --background, args.background is None. This expression passes true, so an existing instance receives Activate and the CLI process exits. The code cannot distinguish that invocation from an application-launcher invocation.
Add an explicit launcher activation mode, or change the launcher command to pass an explicit activation flag. Keep the default CLI path independent of an existing GUI instance.

Description
This PR introduces a new feature to prevent multiple instances of
cardwire-guiand its system-tray being opened at the same time using dbus.Re-opening the application from an app launcher activates the already running
cardwire-guiprocess and reopens its window instead of creating a new process. It does not attach to the already running process ifcardwire-guiis launched from the cli.I tried to do the least possible changes to iced related code because of the planned slint rewrite, so this feature could be reused.
Tested on:
I have not verified the Nix related changes, I still have to do research on that as I have not used it yet.
