ci(codemagic): Windows desktop build workflow (blocked on billing plan)

Adds a desktop-windows Codemagic workflow to build the Tauri/CEF desktop app's Windows installer (NSIS/MSI) — the owner asked for a .exe release artifact, and this dev box is Linux-only so cross-compiling a CEF-based app isn't realistic; Codemagic's Windows machine is the only practical option.

Status: blocked on a billing-plan limit, not a config bug

Triggered twice via the Codemagic API and read the actual failure reasons (not just top-level status):

instance_type: windows_x2 → "The selected instance type is not available with the current billing plan." This is Codemagic account-level, not something in this repo or workflow to fix.
Tried windows_x1 as a fallback, in case windows_x2 specifically was the paid tier — Codemagic's own schema validation rejected it outright: windows_x2 is the only valid Windows instance_type value at all (full enum: mac_mini, mac_mini_m1, mac_mini_m2, mac_mini_m4, mac_studio_m4_max, mac_pro, linux, linux_x2, linux_x4, windows_x2). So there's no cheaper Windows option to fall back to — reverted to windows_x2, which is at least the syntactically correct value, so this workflow will start working the moment the account's plan includes it.

The existing account plan clearly includes Mac machines (mac_mini_m2, used by ios-release/build-unsigned, both working tonight) but not windows_x2. This needs the owner to upgrade the Codemagic plan or otherwise enable Windows machine access — nothing else in this PR can unblock it.

What's in this PR

codemagic.yaml: new desktop-windows workflow — npm ci → npm run build (matrix-core + web, required before the desktop build) → cd apps/desktop && npx tauri build --bundles nsis,msi. Triggers on push/PR to any branch, matching build-unsigned's pattern. Does not touch ios-release/build-unsigned or any signing config.
Unsigned — Windows Authenticode code-signing needs a real certificate the owner would buy/provide, same gap RELEASE.md already documents for macOS/Windows packaging.
Untested beyond config validation, since it's never actually run on a real Windows machine yet (blocked above) — there's a real chance the feat/cef Tauri branch's CEF binary distribution has Windows-specific packaging issues once it does run (only Linux appimage/deb have ever been exercised for this app), worth being aware of as a next problem once the plan issue is resolved.

Gate

npm run build, npm test (471/471 + 1 skip), npm run lint (0 errors) all green in a worktree — this PR only touches CI config, no app code.

ci(codemagic): add unsigned Windows desktop build workflow 79bd851e2a

New desktop-windows workflow (windows_x2 instance) builds the Tauri/CEF
desktop app's NSIS/MSI installer on a real Windows machine, since this
dev box is Linux-only and cross-compiling a CEF-based app isn't
realistic. Unsigned - Authenticode code-signing needs a real cert the
owner would provide, matches RELEASE.md's existing known gap.

Does not touch the existing ios-release/build-unsigned workflows or any
signing config.

Confirmed via Codemagic's own schema validation error that windows_x2 is
the ONLY Windows instance_type Codemagic supports at all - windows_x1
doesn't exist. The real blocker is billing-plan access to windows_x2, not
config correctness (see PR description).

Merged into main at 0ca16bc, clean merge (config-only addition, no conflicts). Gate results: build clean, 476 unit tests passed (1 skipped), lint 0 errors, e2e 15/15 passed. codemagic.yaml validated as parseable YAML; the new desktop-windows workflow is unsigned (no Authenticode section touched) and inert until the Codemagic account gets Windows instance access - merging now means main already has the ready-to-go workflow for when that billing limit is lifted. Closing.
