ERR_FAILED (-2) loading splash.html from ASAR intermittently on
macOS dock reactivation because:
- macOS App Nap throttles idle apps
- File descriptors to ASAR archive may be reclaimed after inactivity
- The activate event fires before I/O is fully responsive

Fix: Skip the splash screen on reactivation. Services are already
loaded from initial launch, so window creation is fast (~100ms).
The splash exists to cover heavy initialization—unnecessary on
reactivation.
