emozilla c858484b45 desktop: swap node-pty fork for upstream microsoft/node-pty 1.1.0
The previous dependency, @homebridge/node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch@0.13.1,
publishes no win32-arm64 prebuilds on its v0.13.x line, and its v0.14.x
betas (which do add an arm64 Windows build) ship no electron-vXXX-win32-
arm64 prebuilds at all -- so packaged Electron 40 builds (NMV 143) would
fail at runtime even on a successful npm install. Net effect: the
desktop's integrated terminal was unbuildable on Windows-on-ARM, in
both dev (npm install fails: 404 fetching the node-vXXX-win32-arm64
prebuilt) and packaged builds (no Electron-ABI prebuilt exists).

The homebridge fork was originally created because upstream node-pty
shipped no prebuilds at all. That hasn't been true since node-pty@1.0
(April 2024), which:

- bundles prebuilts for mac (arm64+x64) and Windows (arm64+x64) directly
  inside the npm tarball -- no GitHub-Releases fetch, no missing-binary
  failure mode
- uses N-API (node-addon-api) for ABI stability across Node and Electron
  major versions, so the same pty.node binary loads under Node 22 (dev)
  and Electron 40+ (packaged) without per-ABI rebuilds
- is what VS Code, Hyper, and Theia actually ship

API surface is identical (spawn / onData / onExit / write / resize /
kill) -- no call-site changes needed.

Specifically:

- apps/desktop/package.json: replace the @homebridge fork with
  node-pty@1.1.0 (exact pin). Widen `asarUnpack` from `["**/*.node"]`
  to also unpack `**/prebuilds/**`, because node-pty ships runtime-
  execed helpers alongside its .node files (darwin spawn-helper has no
  extension and would not be matched by `**/*.node`; conpty.dll,
  OpenConsole.exe, winpty.dll, winpty-agent.exe on Windows are also
  exec'd at runtime and cannot live inside asar).

- apps/desktop/electron/main.cjs: update both require() strings to
  match the new package name and the new staged path under
  resources/native-deps/node-pty/.

- apps/desktop/scripts/stage-native-deps.cjs: point at node_modules/
  node-pty. node-pty's prebuilts live under prebuilds/<plat>-<arch>/
  (not build/Release/), so update the include glob to copy that dir.
  Per-arch staging keeps the resource bundle small (target arch comes
  from npm_config_arch when electron-builder cross-builds, else
  process.arch). Explicitly enumerate file types in the prebuilds glob
  so the ~25 MB of .pdb debug symbols that prebuild-install bundles
  for Windows crash analysis don't bloat the installer (29 MB -> 2.6 MB
  staged on win32-arm64). Re-assert +x on the darwin spawn-helper
  defensively, since a stripped mode bit would manifest as a silent
  ENOENT at first pty.spawn().

- apps/desktop/scripts/test-desktop.mjs: update expectedNativeDepPaths()
  and its assertion site to look at prebuilds/<plat>-<arch>/ instead of
  build/Release/. Add an explicit spawn-helper-exists check on darwin
  so a regression in the asarUnpack glob would fail loudly in CI rather
  than at first PTY spawn.

Trade-off: Linux end-users lose prebuilts and fall back to building
node-pty from source on `npm install`. Acceptable because Hermes
ships no Linux desktop builds (desktop-release.yml matrix is mac + win
only, package.json declares no `linux` target), and Linux developers
hacking on the desktop already need a C++ toolchain for the rest of
the stack.

Verified on Windows 11 ARM64 (Snapdragon):
  npm install                                          -> exit 0
  node -e "require('node-pty').spawn(...)" round-trip  -> OK
  stage-native-deps                                    -> 27 files, 2.6 MB
  load from staged tree (simulates packaged fallback)  -> ConPTY
                                                           round-trip OK

// Windows: PATH-based detection has TWO landmines we have to dodge.
//
// (1) The Microsoft Store "Python stub" lives at
// %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe and is on PATH
// by default on modern Windows. It's a redirector that opens the
// Store window if no Store Python is installed. Running it for
// `-m venv` would either succeed (real Store install — fine) or
// pop the Store dialog (bad UX during boot).
// (2) `py.exe` (Python launcher) is missing from per-user installs
// that didn't check the launcher option, so PATH-only checks
// miss real Python 3.13 installs (user-reported case).
//
// We also restrict ourselves to Python 3.113.13. 3.14 is the latest
// CPython but several Hermes deps (notably pywinpty's Rust-built
// windows_x86_64_msvc crate) don't yet publish 3.14 wheels, and
// `pip install -e .` falls back to source-build, which fails without
// a Rust toolchain. install.ps1 sidesteps this by pinning to 3.11
// via uv; until we add the same uv-managed Python pathway here, the
// simplest fix is to refuse 3.14 detection and let the NSIS prereq
// page offer to install 3.11 alongside.
//
// Strategy: probe in three passes, in order from most-precise to
// least-precise, and ONLY use PATH lookup as a last resort after
// confirming the candidate isn't the WindowsApps redirector.
//
// Pass 1: PEP 514 registry — every standards-compliant Python
// installer registers itself at SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore.
// The MS Store stub does NOT register here, so a hit means
// a real Python install. Versions are explicit so we
// inherently filter 3.14 out.
// Pass 2: Filesystem probe of standard install locations
// (Program Files, LocalAppData\Programs\Python). Same
// version filtering by directory name.
// Pass 3: PATH lookup of `py.exe` (the launcher itself never
// triggers the Store) — but call it with a version flag so
// we resolve to a SPECIFIC supported version, not whatever
// py.exe's default is (which on a 3.14-only box would be
