Function	Returns	Description
`version()`	string	MultiProg app version (e.g. `"2.3.0"`)
`script_api_version()`	string	Script API version (e.g. `"1.7.10"`, format `major.minor.patch`) — increments on any API change
`build_info()`	table	`{git_hash, build_time, qt_version, compiler, platform, script_api}`
`os_info()`	table	`{os, os_version, kernel, kernel_version, cpu_arch, hostname}`
`exe_dir()`	string	Directory of `MultiProg.exe`
`exe_path()`	string	Full path to `MultiProg.exe`
`config_dir()`	string	User config directory
`scripts_dir()`	string	Scripts directory
`temp_dir()`	string	System temp directory
`home_dir()`	string	User home directory
`desktop_dir()`	string	User Desktop
`documents_dir()`	string	User Documents
`get_env(name)`	string	Environment variable

`log_tail(n?)`	string	Last `n` lines of that log (default 200, cap 10000)
`add_script_shortcut(path)`	ok, err	Append a `.lua` path to the user's Script menu (persisted across restarts). Accepts an absolute path OR a bare filename
`remove_script_shortcut(path)`	ok, err	Remove a path from the Script menu
`list_script_shortcuts()`	table	Array of currently-registered user shortcut paths
`cleanup_ipc_dir(names)`	int, table	Delete files in the IPC bridge dir; `names` is a Lua array of plain filenames (no `/` or `\`). Hard whitelist protects critical files

Example

mp.log.info(mp.app.version())             -- "2.3.0"
mp.log.info(mp.app.script_api_version())  -- "1.7.10"

local b = mp.app.build_info()
mp.log.infof("git=%s qt=%s build=%s",
             b.git_hash, b.qt_version, b.build_time)

local o = mp.app.os_info()
mp.log.infof("os=%s arch=%s host=%s",
             o.os, o.cpu_arch, o.hostname)

mp.log.info("scripts: " .. mp.app.scripts_dir())
mp.log.info("config:  " .. mp.app.config_dir())
mp.log.info("today's log: " .. mp.app.log_path())

-- Make a custom script appear in the Script menu after restart
mp.app.add_script_shortcut("C:/scripts/my_flow.lua")
for _, p in ipairs(mp.app.list_script_shortcuts()) do
    mp.log.info(p)
end
