fix: Tauri .exe production — download progress, process management, versions

Critical fixes for the desktop app:

Rust backend:
- download.rs: Arc<Mutex> for downloads HashMap, spawned task now updates
  progress in real-time (was stuck at 0% forever)
- process.rs: read stdout/stderr in background threads to prevent ComfyUI
  process deadlock. Validate python binary before spawning.
- proxy.rs: consistent user-agent version string

Configuration:
- Cargo.toml + tauri.conf.json: sync version to 1.5.2
- capabilities/default.json: correct permissions (removed invalid http:default)
- release.yml: update tauri-action to v0.5

Frontend:
- backend.ts: add fetch_external + fetch_external_bytes to dev-mode
  endpoint map (was missing, caused crashes)
