engelgardt 540bad0ecb refactor: split into modules under src/dhcpsrv/
The previous monolithic dhcpsrv_app.py (~500 lines) is now 7 focused modules:

- src/dhcpsrv/__init__.py    : single source of truth for __version__
- src/dhcpsrv/__main__.py    : entry for python -m dhcpsrv
- src/dhcpsrv/app.py         : main orchestration, wires the rest
- src/dhcpsrv/platform_win.py: VT enable + UAC self-elevate
- src/dhcpsrv/update_check.py: GitHub /releases/latest poll
- src/dhcpsrv/network.py     : NIC enumeration, netsh, ping
- src/dhcpsrv/dhcp.py        : DhcpConfig, DhcpServer, packet parse/build, server loop
- src/dhcpsrv/ui.py          : rich-based full-screen TUI

Also added:
- dhcpsrv-launcher.py at repo root: absolute-import entry for PyInstaller
- pyproject.toml: deps + dynamic version
- CONTRIBUTING.md: layout, build, and release flow

CI workflow now builds from dhcpsrv-launcher.py.
No user-visible behaviour change.

## Run from source (no exe)
```
python -m pip install rich
python -m dhcpsrv
```
`python -m dhcpsrv` finds `src/dhcpsrv/__main__.py` because the package lives under `src/`. You'll need administrator privileges for UDP/67 and `netsh` — the tool self-elevates via UAC.
## Editable install (development)
```
python -m pip install -e .
dhcpsrv
```
`-e .` makes the entry-point `dhcpsrv` available on PATH; edits in `src/dhcpsrv/` take effect immediately.
## Build the portable .exe
```
python -m pip install pyinstaller rich
python -m PyInstaller --onefile --uac-admin --console --name dhcpsrv --paths src dhcpsrv-launcher.py
```
`dhcpsrv-launcher.py` (at repo root) is the PyInstaller entry — it does an
*absolute* import (`from dhcpsrv.app import main`) which is needed when
PyInstaller runs the bundled script as a standalone module. The `--paths src`
flag tells PyInstaller where to find the `dhcpsrv` package itself. Output:
`dist/dhcpsrv.exe`.
## Cut a release
1. Update `src/dhcpsrv/__init__.py` — bump `__version__` to `X.Y.Z`.
2. Update `CHANGELOG.md` — move items from `[Unreleased]` into a new `[X.Y.Z]` section with today's date.
3. Commit: `git commit -am "vX.Y.Z: …"`.
4. Tag: `git tag vX.Y.Z`.
5. Push: `git push && git push --tags`.
That's it. GitHub Actions picks up the tag, builds the exe, writes the SHA-256, and creates the GitHub Release with the zip attached.
