Sravan e84e5eb241 feat(desktop): open the landing page (pre-login), not /home directly

The desktop app was hardcoded to /home, so it jumped straight to the login form and
skipped the 'before login' landing (no-login 'Share my screen' + sign-in). Now loads / —
same entry as the website; it redirects logged-in users to /home.

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)

npm install
SERVER_URL=http://localhost:8090 npm start     # default is https://remote.bizgaze.com

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.
