Re-adds the .crossover engine kind (dropped in the de-brand commits) but as a one-time copy into Engines/crossover instead of a live reference, so it runs off GamePorter's own copy and never touches /Applications/CrossOver.app at runtime. - detectCrossOver() now points every path (loader, server, DLL path, CX_ROOT, apple_gptk libd3dshared) at the copied tree under Engines/crossover. - importCrossOver() clones the installed CrossOver via FileManager.copyItem (APFS clonefile; source is only read, never modified). - Engines panel gains an "Import from your installed CrossOver" action, shown only while CrossOver is installed and not yet copied.

Lets the app + engines + bottles live on a USB/SSD and run with no install. - AppPaths.root uses a sibling "GamePorterData" folder next to the app bundle (or $GAMEPORTER_DATA) when present, else the usual Application Support path. - WineRunner resolves a pin's absolute exe/workingDir against the current bottle's drive_c at launch, so bottles stay portable across machines/users. - ContentView auto-selects the first bottle so it's visible immediately instead of the empty "No bottle selected" pane. - Silence an unused try? result in disableCrashDebugger.

AppPaths.root also looks for GamePorterData inside the app bundle (Contents/Resources/GamePorterData), before the sibling-folder and Application Support locations — so a single .app can carry the porter, engines and bottles and run with nothing beside it.

Two related changes that make GamePorter run games from a self-contained, movable bundle.
1. Restore CrossOver as a copied engine
The de-brand commits dropped the
.crossoverengine. This brings it back, but as a one-time copy intoEngines/crossoverrather than a live reference to/Applications/CrossOver.app:detectCrossOver()drives the copied loader; every env path points into the copy.importCrossOver()clones the installed CrossOver withFileManager.copyItem(APFS clonefile — source is only read, never modified).2. Portable, no-install operation
AppPaths.rootuses a siblingGamePorterDatafolder next to the app bundle (or$GAMEPORTER_DATA) when present — so the app + engines + bottles run straight from a USB/SSD with no install.WineRunnerresolves a pin's absolute exe/workingDir against the current bottle'sdrive_cat launch, so bottles stay portable across machines and usernames.ContentViewauto-selects the first bottle (no more empty "No bottle selected" on launch).try?warning.Testing
