Add a build-desktop matrix job that builds the Geist frontend, then bundles the
pywebview launcher + FastAPI backend into a single binary per OS
(tju-expense-desktop-{linux,windows.exe,macos}) and attaches it to the release,
so students can download and double-click it like the CLI. The spec now takes
its output name from ASSET_NAME, mirroring the CLI build.
Note: the Linux job installs GTK/WebKit for pywebview and is the step most
likely to need adjustment on a first real release run.

Introduce the graphical desktop app in the top-level README (screenshot, username/password login, CSV export, Geist UI) with per-OS download links to the release assets and a campus-network note. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Follow-up to #13, so the desktop app is actually usable by others: a release now builds and ships a downloadable binary, and the README points to it.

Note
Download links go live once a release is cut with this workflow in place (same pattern as the existing CLI badges).
