fix(installer): pass -IncludeDesktop to manifest, surface launch errors, alias hermes desktop

Three bugs found in the first VM end-to-end test:

1. install.ps1 -Manifest was called WITHOUT -IncludeDesktop, so the
   manifest came back with the 14-stage list (no desktop stage), the
   UI showed '14 steps' and Stage-Desktop never ran. Pass the flag to
   both the manifest fetch and the per-stage runs — install.ps1 gates
   the desktop stage's inclusion on the flag.

2. The Success screen's Launch button silently swallowed the Tauri
   error when no Hermes.exe existed (e.g. Stage-Desktop was skipped).
   Wire the error through to inline UI with an alert callout, so the
   user gets actionable text ('Hermes.exe missing, run hermes desktop
   from a terminal') instead of an unresponsive button.

3. The Success screen tells users to run 'hermes desktop' from a
   terminal but the CLI only accepted 'hermes gui' — invalid choice
   for 'desktop'. Rename the subcommand canonically to 'desktop' with
   'gui' as a backwards-compatible alias. Update the _SUBCOMMANDS sets
   used by session-flag arg parsing + logging-mode probe so both names
   route to the same logic.
