// Cross-platform launcher that ensures Electron runs in GUI mode.
//
// Claude Code (and other Electron-based tools) set ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1,
// which forces Electron to behave as a plain Node.js process — the browser
// layer never initializes, so `require("electron").app` is undefined.
//
// This launcher strips that variable before spawning the real Electron binary.
