What
Recreate the desktop main window when a second app launch arrives after the original window has already been destroyed.
Why
Packaged Nexu can keep running as a background UIElement app with no remaining windows. In that state, clicking the app again triggers
second-instance, but the existing handler only tried to focus an in-memory window reference and could not recover the UI.How
second-instancefallback that callscreateMainWindow()whenmainWindowis missing or destroyedAffected areas
