chore(ci): remove standalone build-desktop workflow

[FSM1]

Summary

• Remove build-desktop.yml which triggered on every release event (including SDK-only releases like @cipherbox/sdk-v0.31.0)
• Desktop builds are already handled by deploy-staging.yml when staging tags are pushed

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Revert

  • Automated desktop application builds have been removed from the release process.

• Chores

  • Desktop release artifacts are now published as full releases (not prereleases) and include updater JSON to support the app updater.

Walkthrough

Removed the release-triggered multi-platform desktop build workflow and updated the staging deploy workflow to publish desktop releases as non-prereleases and include the updater JSON in release artifacts.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Desktop Build Workflow Deletion .github/workflows/build-desktop.yml	Deleted the GitHub Actions workflow that performed multi-platform Tauri builds (macOS aarch64/x86_64, Ubuntu 22.04, Windows), installed toolchain targets and platform-specific dependencies, cached Rust builds, and packaged release artifacts via tauri-action.
Staging Deploy Workflow Update .github/workflows/deploy-staging.yml	Changed Tauri release creation parameters in macOS/Windows/Linux deploy jobs: set prerelease: false and added includeUpdaterJson: true to include updater JSON with release artifacts.

(omitted — changes are workflow deletion and small parameter updates, not a new multi-component control flow)
