fix(desktop): ignore installed dependencies in pack watchers - #1767

## Problem

pnpm hardlink metadata changes can rebuild desktop bundles and relaunch Electron without a source edit.

## Change

Wrap the pack array once to apply the existing watch exclusion to every desktop bundle:

```ts
ignoreWatch: /[\\/]node_modules[\\/]/
```

Workspace imports resolve through their symlinks to source paths outside `node_modules`, so they remain watchable.
One bounded fixture build checks that installed dependencies are excluded while linked `contracts` and `shared` sources remain watchable.

## Scope and approval

Refs #1614.
This PR covers only the Watch condition; the historical 14:10:20 hardlink-source condition stays open.
The host approved this scope and owns runtime grounding; no watcher or Electron instance was started by the worker.

## Verification

- [x] Focused bundle tests: 3 passed
- [x] Targeted lint and desktop typecheck
- [x] Desktop production pack
- [x] `vp run fork:ci`: 762 tests passed
- [x] Host-owned Electron runtime grounding: below

The regression test checks actual bundler-resolved paths against the configured filter, not runtime filesystem events.

## Grounding

**Claim:** under `vp run dev:app --desktop`, dependency changes keep Electron running; source edits relaunch it.

- **Build:** PR head `f227ae6fed`
- **Client:** Electron dev app, checkout-local state
- **Dependency:** bundled `effect` `Pipeable.js`

| Step | Windows created | Electron |
| --- | --- | --- |
| launch | 1 | running |
| dependency `chmod` and `touch` | 1 | same PID |
| dependency hardlink (links 14 → 15) | 1 | same PID |
| touch `apps/desktop/src/main.ts` | 2 | relaunched |
| touch `packages/contracts/src/background.ts` | 3 | relaunched |
| touch `packages/shared/src/schemaJson.ts` | 4 | relaunched |

**Not grounded:** the pre-fix relaunch; no baseline run.

```

Workspace imports resolve through their symlinks to source paths outside `node_modules`, so they remain watchable.
One bounded fixture build checks that installed dependencies are excluded while linked `contracts` and `shared` sources remain watchable.

## Scope and approval

Refs #1614.
This PR covers only the Watch condition; the historical 14:10:20 hardlink-source condition stays open.
The host approved this scope and owns runtime grounding; no watcher or Electron instance was started by the worker.

## Verification

- [x] Focused bundle tests: 3 passed
- [x] Targeted lint and desktop typecheck
- [x] Desktop production pack
- [x] `vp run fork:ci`: 762 tests passed
- [x] Host-owned Electron runtime grounding: below

The regression test checks actual bundler-resolved paths against the configured filter, not runtime filesystem events.

## Grounding

**Claim:** under `vp run dev:app --desktop`, dependency changes keep Electron running; source edits relaunch it.

- **Build:** PR head `f227ae6fed`
- **Client:** Electron dev app, checkout-local state
- **Dependency:** bundled `effect` `Pipeable.js`

| Step | Windows created | Electron |
| --- | --- | --- |
| launch | 1 | running |
| dependency `chmod` and `touch` | 1 | same PID |
| dependency hardlink (links 14 → 15) | 1 | same PID |
| touch `apps/desktop/src/main.ts` | 2 | relaunched |
| touch `packages/contracts/src/background.ts` | 3 | relaunched |
| touch `packages/shared/src/schemaJson.ts` | 4 | relaunched |

**Not grounded:** the pre-fix relaunch; no baseline run.

## Problem

pnpm hardlink metadata changes can rebuild desktop bundles and relaunch Electron without a source edit.

## Change

Wrap the pack array once to apply the existing watch exclusion to every desktop bundle:

```ts
ignoreWatch: /[\\/]node_modules[\\/]/
```

Workspace imports resolve through their symlinks to source paths outside `node_modules`, so they remain watchable.
One bounded fixture build checks that installed dependencies are excluded while linked `contracts` and `shared` sources remain watchable.

## Scope and approval

Refs #1614.
This PR covers only the Watch condition; the historical 14:10:20 hardlink-source condition stays open.
The host approved this scope and owns runtime grounding; no watcher or Electron instance was started by the worker.

## Verification

- [x] Focused bundle tests: 3 passed
- [x] Targeted lint and desktop typecheck
- [x] Desktop production pack
- [x] `vp run fork:ci`: 762 tests passed
- [x] Host-owned Electron runtime grounding: below

The regression test checks actual bundler-resolved paths against the configured filter, not runtime filesystem events.

Workspace imports resolve through their symlinks to source paths outside `node_modules`, so they remain watchable.
One bounded fixture build checks that installed dependencies are excluded while linked `contracts` and `shared` sources remain watchable.

## Scope and approval

Refs #1614.
This PR covers only the Watch condition; the historical 14:10:20 hardlink-source condition stays open.
The host approved this scope and owns runtime grounding; no watcher or Electron instance was started by the worker.

## Verification

- [x] Focused bundle tests: 3 passed
- [x] Targeted lint and desktop typecheck
- [x] Desktop production pack
- [x] `vp run fork:ci`: 762 tests passed
- [x] Host-owned Electron runtime grounding: below

The regression test checks actual bundler-resolved paths against the configured filter, not runtime filesystem events.

## Grounding

**Claim:** under `vp run dev:app --desktop`, dependency changes keep Electron running; source edits relaunch it.

- **Build:** PR head `f227ae6fed`
- **Client:** Electron dev app, checkout-local state
- **Dependency:** bundled `effect` `Pipeable.js`

| Step | Windows created | Electron |
| --- | --- | --- |
| launch | 1 | running |
| dependency `chmod` and `touch` | 1 | same PID |
| dependency hardlink (links 14 → 15) | 1 | same PID |
| touch `apps/desktop/src/main.ts` | 2 | relaunched |
| touch `packages/contracts/src/background.ts` | 3 | relaunched |
| touch `packages/shared/src/schemaJson.ts` | 4 | relaunched |

**Not grounded:** the pre-fix relaunch; no baseline run.
