Subject: [PATCH] fix(desktop): use the native arrow cursor instead of the web
 hand cursor

Desktop app windows should follow native conventions where clickable controls
use the arrow cursor, not the web's pointer/hand. Under the desktop runtime
only (web in a browser is unchanged), neutralize pointer cursors on buttons,
role=button, links, summary/label, the cursor-pointer utility (and its
hover/group-hover variants), and markdown file links. Resize, grab, text and
not-allowed cursors are left intact.
