lightweight splash window that appears immediately at launch, shows “Starting services… Preparing backend on port 3001”, then automatically closes when the main window is ready. This removes the initial blank window and eliminates needing to manually open another screen.
The main window still waits for the backend to be ready, then shows; both are now coordinated.
Changes: src/main/index.ts
Added createSplashWindow() and splashWindow variable.
Show splash in app.whenReady(), start backend, then createWindow().
Close splash on mainWindow ready-to-show.
Impact: No flicker/blank; users see a status screen while the backend boots, then the app opens automatically.
