feat(surface): switch CLI <-> Desktop on a shared backend (Phase 1) - #247

Conversation
Three surfaces share one local backend (control plane + sandbox VM + frontend);
the surface is just which front-end is attached. CLI<->Desktop is a GUI toggle on
the already-running app — no backend restart.
- desktop app: SIGUSR1 shows the GUI window (+ macOS Regular activation), SIGUSR2
hides it (+ Accessory) — handled on the main thread via a signal-hook listener.
- orcabot CLI:
- desktop : signal the running backend to show the GUI (SIGUSR1), or cold-launch
the desktop binary in GUI mode if nothing is running.
- cli : signal it to hide the GUI (SIGUSR2), then open the TUI.
- web : stub — explains the session must be packaged/transferred to the cloud
first (Phase 2); opens ORCABOT_WEB_URL if set.
Verified: SIGUSR1/SIGUSR2 received + handled, app stays alive
([surface] signal 30/31 logged). Window visuals verified manually.
