add uv to PATH after install

[Jason2866]

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved Python setup reliability on Windows by automatically locating and using the UV executable even when it isn’t immediately available in PATH, ensuring virtual environment creation proceeds without manual steps.

• Chores

  • Bumped the app version from 12.1.1 to 12.1.2.

Walkthrough

Increments package version to 12.1.2 and updates Python installer logic to resolve and use an explicit UV executable path, particularly on Windows. Adds a helper to compute the UV path and replaces direct 'uv' invocations with a variable that can point to the absolute path post-install.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Version bump package.json	Incremented version from 12.1.1 to 12.1.2.
Installer UV path handling src/installer/get-python.js	Added getUVExecutablePath; introduced uvCommand variable; on Windows, switches to absolute UV path post-install; replaced direct 'uv' calls with uvCommand; added fallback when UV isn’t in PATH immediately after install.

Poem

A rabbit installs with careful cheer,
Finds UV’s burrow, crystal clear.
On Windows paths where secrets hide,
It hops to exe’s proper side.
Version bumped, the warren’s neat—
Now venvs sprout beneath its feet. 🐇✨
