   Expanding on the roadmap entry here. This is just some brainstorming, nothing written in stone. We probably need a few different stages when a command can run.

   • pre display check - nothing available currently
   • post display check - current prep commands
   • pre stream start - current main command
   • post stream start - nothing available currently
   • stream pause / disconnect - nothing available currently
   • stream quit / end / termination - current undo commands
   • additional user connects to stream - nothing available currently

   And the commands and do/undo commands to be refactored a bit. In the apps config it should probably just be a sequence of commands.

   e.g.

   "commands": [
     {
       "detached": True/False,
       "elevated": True/False,
       "ignore_error": True/False,
       "log_file": "e.g. my_command.log",
       "name": "Friendly name",
       "run": "terminal command to run",
       "shell": "shell to use, e.g. auto, bash, cmd, pwsh, etc.",
       "stage": "the point when the command should run",
       "working_directory": "path to start in"
     }
   ]

   These would be listed in the order that they should run. In the c++, at each stage loop over the list in order and only run the command if the stage matches the stage we're at.
