Pull request overview
This PR adds Electron-side WSL server onboarding and multi-distro support, replacing the old single on/off WSL toggle with discoverable WSL sidecars that can be added and selected like other servers. It also updates the app UI so WSL-backed sessions use WSL-aware path handling and server management flows.
Changes:
- Replaces boolean WSL enablement with a new Electron WSL servers API, controller, IPC surface, and WSL process helpers.
- Adds app-side WSL state/context plus new server-selection/onboarding UI for adding, updating, retrying, and displaying WSL servers.
- Adjusts routing, picker behavior, and a few supporting utilities/refactors to fit WSL-backed local workflows.
