/**
* Locating the dev Electron binary for the e2e fixtures.
*
* Kept in its own module so the resolution rules can be unit-tested without
* importing the Playwright runner (fixtures.ts pulls in `_electron`, the mock
* server and the error-banner guard).
*
* Three rules the previous single-path probe got wrong:
*
* 1. The binary is not always under the REPO ROOT. This is an npm workspaces
* repo, and npm only hoists a dependency to the root when nothing conflicts
* — otherwise `electron` installs into `apps/desktop/node_modules`. Both
* layouts are normal, so both have to be searched, nearest package first.
* 2. The binary is `electron.exe` on Windows. A bare `electron` never exists
* there, so the probe could only ever miss.
* 3. `which` is not a command on Windows. The PATH fallback spawned it
* unconditionally, so on Windows the fallback failed for the wrong reason
* and the error message blamed a missing `npm install`.
