flemming-it d66f46f133 fix: resolve 'chain' binary on PATH (legacy 'fai' fallback)
Studio's Start-hub looked for 'fai' on PATH; post-rename the entry
binary is 'chain', so a fresh install failed to start the daemon.

// System-level actions Studio invokes by spawning the `fai`
// binary or asking the OS to open a file. Used by Doctor's
// daemon-control + open-paths affordances so Windows operators
// who never touch a shell can restart the daemon, apply an
// update, or open a log file from inside the GUI.
//
// Cross-platform notes:
// - macOS uses `open` for files + URLs.
// - Linux uses `xdg-open`.
// - Windows uses `explorer` (file manager) and a quoted CLI
// call for processes.
//
// The `fai` binary is resolved from PATH first; falls back to
// `~/.chain/bin/chain` (Unix) or `%USERPROFILE%\.chain\bin\chain.exe`
// (Windows). The PowerShell installer puts both in PATH but
// some operators don't restart their shell after install — the
// fallback covers that case.
