ac-electron: experimental 'Launch Native Notepat' tray item (macOS)
Wires a tray hook that spawns a macOS ac-native binary with notepat.mjs.
ac-native is currently Linux-only bare metal — when a mac target is built
and dropped at one of these paths it just starts working:
1. $AC_NATIVE_BIN
2. <repo>/fedac/native/build/ac-native-macos
3. <repo>/fedac/native/build/ac-native
4. /usr/local/bin/ac-native
Until then, the menu item shows a dialog explaining how to install.
Appears under Experimental in the AC tray, and directly under 'Open
Notepat Overlay' in the Notepat tray. Disabled on non-macOS.
