build: make npm run start work from a clean checkout #16

Description

Finding

README directs users to npm run start, but start maps to dev:bin, which can require generated binaries that are ignored by git. A clean checkout should have an obvious first-run command that works or fails with precise setup guidance.

Evidence

  • package.json start -> npm run dev:bin.
  • bin is ignored in .gitignore.
  • Electron binary lookup falls back to bin//backend and bin//render in packaged/bin mode.

Acceptance criteria

  • Decide whether start should run source/dev mode or build binaries first.
  • Update scripts and docs so clean-checkout startup is reliable.
  • Preserve explicit bin-mode commands for production-like local runs.
