After the June lockfile regeneration (#46652) floated electron and reshuffled
npm workspace hoisting, the desktop pack fails with "The specified electronDist
does not exist". apps/desktop/package.json pointed electronDist at the repo
root (../../node_modules/electron/dist) while npm now installs electron nested
under apps/desktop/node_modules/electron. The two contradict, so a clean
install can never package the app (Windows + macOS).
- electronDist -> node_modules/electron/dist (resolved relative to apps/desktop,
i.e. the workspace-local install npm actually produces).
- hermes_cli/main.py, scripts/install.sh, scripts/install.ps1: add a runtime
electron-dir resolver that prefers apps/desktop/node_modules/electron and
falls back to the root hoist, so dist checks + the mirror re-download work
under either npm layout.
- patch-electron-builder-mac-binary.cjs: try the workspace-local Electron.app
before the root hoist in the macOS binary-restore fallback (sibling site no
PR touched).
- test: assert build.electronDist resolves to where the lockfile installs
electron, so a future hoist change (root <-> nested) can't silently break it.
Salvages the overlapping work in #48003 (sitkarev), #48012 (omegazheng), and
#48033 (james47kjv).
