Subject: [PATCH] Fix standalone release build (custom-protocol feature was
 never enabled)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

cargo build --release alone doesn't produce a working standalone binary in
Tauri v2 — embedding the frontend vs. hitting devUrl at runtime is gated by
the tauri/custom-protocol Cargo feature, not the debug/release profile.
The scaffold never declared it, so even release builds tried to connect to
localhost:1420. Added the standard default-on custom-protocol feature
(cargo tauri dev strips it via --no-default-features for dev builds); a
plain `cargo build --release --locked` in src/ now produces a real
standalone binary with no dev-server dependency.

Also fixes vite.config.js's file-watch ignore pattern, left stale by the
src-tauri -> src rename: a bare "**/src/**" glob would have also matched
frontend/src itself, so it's now an absolute path scoped to the Rust
project dir specifically.
