* fix(dev): self-heal cargo PATH so `bun desktop` works from a stale terminal
`tauri dev` shells out to cargo, so `bun desktop` died with "failed to run
'cargo metadata' ... program not found" on any terminal opened before rustup
was installed — the shell holds a stale PATH snapshot without ~/.cargo/bin even
though cargo is installed and on the persisted User PATH (a new terminal finds
it). That's a confusing first-run-from-source papercut, hit repeatedly on
Windows.
The frontend `desktop` script now runs through scripts/desktop-dev.mjs, which
prepends ~/.cargo/bin when cargo isn't already resolvable, then launches
`tauri dev` with that healed env. Cross-platform (~/.cargo/bin everywhere), a
no-op when cargo is already on PATH, and it passes an explicit env with the
correct-case Path key (Bun doesn't propagate process.env mutations to children,
and Windows uses "Path" not "PATH"). If Rust isn't installed at all, it prints
an actionable install hint instead of the cryptic cargo error. Verified E2E:
from a cargo-less PATH, `tauri dev` now compiles instead of failing.
