Subject: [PATCH] Enable devtools in release builds + add frontend logging

- Enable Tauri devtools feature so right-click Inspect works in release
- Open devtools automatically on launch for debugging
- Add log_frontend command: frontend can write to ~/.voicetonotes/frontend.log
- Sidecar logs go to %LOCALAPPDATA%/com.voicetonotes.app/sidecar.log
- Frontend logs go to %USERPROFILE%/.voicetonotes/frontend.log
