fix: daemon no longer holds the caller's working directory - #130
Merged

Conversation
The shared daemon was spawned with no cwd, so it inherited the caller's: an
app's install folder (e.g. Canvas's bin\), held open for the daemon's whole
life, which blocks that app's Windows update ("folder in use").
- daemon/connect.ts: spawn `serve --register` with cwd = home.
- sdk daemon.ts: spawn `service start` with cwd = home.
- serve --register: chdir to home at start (try/catch), covering older
callers that still spawn it from an app folder.
- Windows installer: PrepareToInstall runs `{app}\redrob.exe service stop`
(failure ignored) so a running daemon does not block overwriting redrob.exe.
