fix(desktop): make electron:dev launcher work on Windows

`new URL('..', import.meta.url).pathname` yields a leading-slash path like
/E:/... on Windows, so Bun.spawn failed with ENOENT. Resolve desktopRoot via
fileURLToPath, start Vite through its Node API instead of spawning `bun run
dev`, and resolve the Electron binary directly per platform.

Recovered from the discarded wip/capabilities snapshot (cb1208c9) as a
standalone fix.
