Sravan ff436704ec feat(desktop 0.1.5): show version + Check for updates in Settings (#12 )

- Settings now shows 'Biz Connect for Desktop · Version x.y.z' with a Check for
  updates button (desktop only, feature-detected).
- preload exposes checkForUpdates(); main.js adds the check-updates IPC (returns
  available/current/dev/error) and, when a build finishes downloading, shows a
  Restart now / Later dialog instead of only the silent on-next-launch install.
- desktop version bumped 0.1.4 -> 0.1.5.

Biz Connect — Desktop client

Electron shell that loads the live Connect web UI and adds native screen capture. See the overall plan in ../CLIENTS.md.

Run (dev = local testing)

npm install
npm start                                   # dev auto-targets http://localhost:8090 (your local server)
SERVER_URL=https://remote.bizgaze.com npm start   # …or point dev at production to compare

npm start IS the local desktop test — no separate "local" installer needed. In dev (unpackaged) the shell defaults to the local server; a PACKAGED installer defaults to production. SERVER_URL overrides either. (Bash/Git-Bash syntax above; in PowerShell: $env:SERVER_URL='…'; npm start.)

Build installers

npm run dist        # electron-builder → Win NSIS / Mac dmg / Linux AppImage

Signed, trusted installers need certificates:

Windows: an EV (or OV) code-signing certificate.
macOS: Apple Developer ID cert + notarization (CSC_LINK, APPLE_ID, APPLE_APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD).

Notes

The window loads ${SERVER_URL}/home; relative /api and /ws URLs work because the origin is the server itself — no web-code changes.
setDisplayMediaRequestHandler in main.js is what makes "Share Screen" work in Electron; it currently defaults to the primary display. Swap in a source-picker for production.
The session is persisted (persist:bizconnect) so login survives restarts.
window.__NATIVE__ === 'desktop' is exposed for the web UI to feature-detect.
