feat(desktop): capture system audio with process isolation
Electron's audio: 'loopback' captures the whole output mix, this app's own playback included — so everyone else's voices went back out inside the share and each listener heard themselves. Not acoustic echo but a digital copy of the output, which is why headphones never helped, and why shareAudio already defaulted to off in the desktop app. Electron offers no way to exclude our own audio: the docs allow only 'loopback' or 'loopbackWithMute', and the handler discards the renderer's constraints (restrictOwnAudio never arrives). electron-native-screenshare does it at the OS level — WASAPI process loopback on Windows — capturing only the shared window when its pid resolves, and otherwise everything except us. The module hands raw PCM to the main process, so it crosses IPC and is scheduled onto a running cursor in Web Audio to become a MediaStreamTrack, published as ScreenShareAudio. Loading is optional and failure degrades to a silent share rather than blocking the app or the screen share. The browser path is untouched: Chrome honours restrictOwnAudio and has no echo. Verified by typecheck (web and Electron main) and the web suite. The audio path itself cannot be exercised here — no Windows, no Electron, no audio device.
