Merge pull request 'fix: drop netifaces (unbuildable), harden build install' (#9) from fix/netifaces-build into main

The packaged exe crashed with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PySide6'.
Root cause: `pip install -e .` aborted because netifaces has no wheel for the
build's Python and needs MSVC to compile from source, so NO dependencies were
installed — and the workflow didn't catch it (native-command failures don't
trip $ErrorActionPreference, and the next pip command succeeded).

- Replace netifaces with a dependency-free socket-based LAN IP detection in the
  GUI; remove netifaces from pyproject and all PyInstaller specs.
- Make pip failures fatal (check $LASTEXITCODE) and add a "Verify runtime
  imports" step that fails the build before bundling if any dep is missing.
