Run staged install before Electron packaging

[badcuban]

What changed

• restore the staged production dependency install before electron-builder runs
• move the bounded transient-network retry to the electron-builder packaging command it was intended to wrap
• add executable coverage proving transient packaging failures retry three times and non-network failures execute once

Root cause

PR #150 captured the adjacent staged-install Effect instead of the later packaging Effect. Because Effects are lazy, that deferred the install until after packaging. Nightly run 31647747869 exposed the ordering bug when Windows correctly reported that @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk was missing from the stage. Linux and macOS completed, and workflow cleanup removed the failed draft release.
