BeeandSaoud Rizwan 83ea9a41d1 refactor: Start the desktop and SSH remote hubs through the bundled Cline CLI (#14792)
* Let hosts choose the hub daemon launcher and defer spawn-only setup

Adds setHubDaemonLauncher so an embedding process can start the hub
daemon through a bundled Cline CLI instead of its own executable, and a
beforeSpawn hook on ensureDetachedHubServer that only runs when a new
daemon is actually started.

* Add programmatic options to cline hub ensure

hub ensure/start gain --json (URL + auth token), --allow-port-fallback,
--no-connectors and --login-shell-path, and the hub command accepts
--discovery-path for a dedicated discovery record. These let the desktop
app and SSH remotes start or reuse a hub through the CLI.

Also extracts the standalone binary compile step into
script/compile-binary.ts so other packages can build the CLI binary.

* Run SSH remote hubs through the Cline CLI

SSH remotes now upload the Cline CLI binary and start or reuse the remote
hub with 'cline hub ensure --json --discovery-path ...', stopping it with
'cline hub stop'. The dedicated remote helper entrypoint is removed;
cleanup records from older releases still stop through the old flag.

* Run the desktop backend on the bundled Cline CLI

The desktop app no longer compiles its own executable. It bundles the
self-contained Cline CLI (externalBin cline-cli) plus the backend as a JS
bundle that runs on the CLI's embedded runtime. At startup the backend has
the CLI run 'hub ensure', which reuses a compatible healthy Hub or starts
one, and any Hub it starts later also goes through the CLI binary. Linux
CLI copies are bundled for SSH remotes.

* Launch the desktop backend through the bundled Cline CLI

The Tauri shell resolves the bundled cline-cli and the backend bundle
(per-platform resource layouts) and starts 'cline-cli run' on it. The
Windows installer stops users of cline-cli.exe, and also stops and removes
the backend executable of earlier releases on upgrade.

* Recognize the CLI-hosted desktop backend in cline doctor --fix

* Update desktop publish workflow and docs for the bundled Cline CLI

Telemetry selfchecks and smoke tests run the backend bundle on the
bundled CLI, and the Windows signature gate verifies cline-cli.exe.

* fix(desktop): address runtime packaging review findings

* fix(desktop): preserve failed hub cleanup and handle exited daemons

* fix(hub): distinguish missing discovery records from read failures

* fix(hub): preserve discovery recovery while enforcing strict shutdown reads

* fix(cli): do not count hub commands as CLI activations (#14870)

* fix(cli): do not count hub commands as CLI activations

The desktop app runs `cline-cli hub ensure` on every launch and the SSH
remote flow runs `cline hub ensure` on every connect. Both went through
runCli(), which captured user.extension_activated unconditionally, so each
desktop launch was double-counted as a CLI activation and every SSH remote
host (with its own distinct id) showed up as a new CLI user.

Skip the activation capture for the hub subcommand; it is plumbing other
clients invoke, not a user activation. Hub-owned task telemetry is
unaffected since the daemon path never enters runCli().

* test(cli): clear the hub command mock between main.test.ts cases

* test(cli): stop stubbing the hub command module in main.test.ts

The module-wide vi.mock("./commands/hub") replaced createHubCommand with
a no-op, so `cline hub dashboard` (routed through createHubCommand) never
reached the dashboard mock and three dashboard tests failed. Drop the
module mock and assert the activation exclusion through
`hub dashboard --no-open`, which is already mocked.
