Subject: [PATCH] fix(desktop): increase backend readiness timeout from 10s to
 30s

The 10-second timeout is too tight for many machines. Log analysis shows
the backend consistently needs 10-12s to start (Node.js init + SQLite +
migrations + HTTP server), causing the desktop to give up before the
backend is ready.

Reported by multiple users after upgrading to v0.0.17.

Fixes #1916
