The renderer index resolver tried APP_ROOT/dist/index.html — inside app.asar
when packaged — before the app.asar.unpacked copy that asarUnpack (dist/**)
ships and that resolveWebDist() already prefers for the embedded dashboard.
Loading the asar-internal index is how lazily imported chunks (syntax-diff-*,
shiki-*, mermaid-embed-*) end up fetched from a path that cannot serve them,
killing the workspace pane (#93479).
Reorder the candidate ladder to prefer the unpacked web dist when packaged,
following the unpackedPathFor/resolveWebDist precedent. All window loaders
(main, overlay, quick) share resolveRendererIndex, so one reorder covers
every surface. Dev behavior is unchanged: outside an asar both candidates
collapse to APP_ROOT/dist and keep the original order.
