Build downloadable desktop application for local-only usage

[Echo2f13]

Description

Package NeuroForge as a standalone desktop application that users can download and run locally without any server deployment or cloud dependency.

Requirements

• Single installer for Windows, macOS, Linux
• Bundled Python backend (or compiled binary)
• Bundled local LLM (Ollama integration or embedded model)
• No internet required after installation (except for optional LLM API fallback)
• Auto-updates (optional)
• System tray integration for quick access

Technical Options

1. Tauri + Rust — Lightweight, secure, uses system webview
2. Electron — Heavier but easier React/Next.js integration
3. PyInstaller + WebView — Bundle Python directly
