Garry Tan ee1c0c109e fix: Windows browse — health-check-first ensureServer, detached startServer, Windows process mgmt
Three compounding bugs made browse completely broken on Windows:

1. Bun.spawn().unref() doesn't truly detach on Windows — server dies when
   CLI exits. Fix: use Node's child_process.spawn with { detached: true }
   via a launcher script. Credit: PR #191 by @fqueiro for the approach.

2. process.kill(pid, 0) is broken in Bun's compiled binary on Windows —
   ensureServer() never reaches the health check. Fix: restructure to
   health-check-first (HTTP is definitive proof on all platforms). Extract
   isServerHealthy() helper for DRY (4 call sites).

3. Windows process management: isProcessAlive() falls back to tasklist,
   killServer() uses taskkill /T /F (kills process tree including Chromium),
   cleanupLegacyState() skips on Windows (no /tmp, no ps).

Also: hard-fail on Windows if server-node.mjs is missing instead of
silently falling back to the known-broken Bun path.

Fixes #342.
