Include desktop app logs in diagnostics (#1914)

* fix(diagnostics): include desktop app logs

Settings diagnostics now collect the Electron main-process log separately from daemon.log so desktop startup and environment-probe failures are included in app reports.

* refactor(desktop): share log tail reader

* fix(diagnostics): surface desktop app log read errors

* refactor(diagnostics): tighten desktop report API
