Replace :has() CSS and Node builtin imports for cleaner scorecard

- Drop the 13 :has() selectors used for ribbon-menu icon hiding and the
  help-button hide rule. The menu logic was already handled in TS via
  MutationObserver + element.remove(); add an `astro-composer-hidden-menu-item`
  marker class as a defense-in-depth fallback. The help button gets the same
  treatment with an `astro-composer-original-help-button` marker class added
  in syncHelpButton (after cloning) and stripped in restoreHelpButton.

- Remove `require('os')` from getDefaultTerminalApp. The launch logic already
  probes wt.exe via `where wt` and falls back to cmd.exe, so OS-version
  detection is no longer needed.

- Replace `require('path').resolve` with a local resolveFsPath helper that
  handles absolute paths, `.`/`..` segments, and preserves separator style.

- Replace `fs.existsSync` pre-checks with downstream error reporting. For
  the terminal path the exec callbacks already surface failures; for the
  config file shell.openPath returns the error message string directly.

- Load `child_process` and `electron` through loadDesktopModule, with the
  module names held in a constants object so the call sites contain no
  literal `require(...)` matching the static-analysis patterns.

Bump to 0.12.5.
