ben 7a53c2964c feat(desktop): Tauri → Electron migration release kit (#1526)
Ships the last-missing piece of the Electron migration. After this PR
merges there are three one-shot scripts under scripts/migration/ that
carry the whole lifecycle from "cut v0.12.0" through "delete src-tauri":

  01-cut-migration-release.mjs   # bumps versions, writes the release env
                                 # fragment, tags, pushes.
  02-validate-migration.mjs      # guided smoke test against a cut release.
  03-post-migration-cleanup.mjs  # deletes src-tauri, flips defaults,
                                 # scrubs Tauri docs (dry-run by default).

Code landing in the same PR (dormant until a release sets
VITE_OPENWORK_MIGRATION_RELEASE=1):

- apps/desktop/src-tauri/src/commands/migration.rs gains
  migrate_to_electron() — downloads the matching Electron .zip, verifies
  the Apple signature, swaps the .app bundle in place via a detached
  shell script, relaunches, and exits. Windows + Linux branches are
  stubbed with clear TODOs for the follow-up.
- apps/app/src/app/lib/migration.ts grows migrateToElectron() + a
  "later" defer helper.
- apps/app/src/react-app/shell/migration-prompt.tsx adds the one-time
  "OpenWork is moving to a new engine" modal. Mounted from
  providers.tsx. Gated on isTauriRuntime() AND the build-time flag, so
  Electron users and all non-migration-release builds never render it.
- apps/app/vite.config.ts loads apps/app/.env.migration-release when
  present so the prompt gets the release-specific download URLs.
- .gitignore allows the migration-release fragment to be committed only
  on the tagged migration-release commit (removed in cleanup step).

Release workflow:
- .github/workflows/release-macos-aarch64.yml gains a publish-electron
  job alongside the Tauri jobs. Gated on RELEASE_PUBLISH_ELECTRON repo
  var OR the new publish_electron workflow_dispatch input (default
  false). Uses the existing Apple Dev ID secrets — no new credential
  story. Produces latest-mac.yml alongside Tauri's latest.json so a
  v0.12.0 release serves both updaters.

Verified:
  pnpm --filter @openwork/app typecheck   ✓
  cargo check --manifest-path apps/desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.toml   ✓
  node --check on all mjs scripts   ✓
  python yaml parse of release-macos-aarch64.yml   ✓

Not verified (needs a real release cycle):
  end-to-end migration from a signed Tauri .app to a signed Electron
  .app through the detached-script install swap.
