Expose the official automation entrypoints through the WinUI and Avalonia executables instead of a separate CLI wrapper. Add pre-UI and headless startup flows, verb-based CLI parsing and command execution, and Windows console handling that only activates for real CLI verbs. Replace the old BackgroundApi surface with the IpcApi contract, including local IPC transport discovery, the client/server automation endpoints, and versioned HTTP routes under /uniget/v1. Stabilize manager identifiers and related package metadata so the CLI and IPC contract no longer depends on GUI display names or internal implementation names. Document the public CLI and IPC contracts, add transport/parser/package-operation coverage, and add headless CLI E2E CI for the new automation flow.

If the same issue can be reproduced outside UniGetUI with the relevant package manager or with the package itself, please report it there first. UniGetUI should only be used to track issues that are specific to UniGetUI's behavior or integration.
