ux: improve empty state when prime-agent binary is missing #3

Description

@mcpeezy

Why

First-run failure mode is the #1 stranger friction.

Scope

  • When doctor/runtime detects missing prime-agent, show a clearer empty-state with:
    1. Install command
    2. Repair menu path
    3. Link/button to open install docs if already present
  • Prefer copy + existing menu action wiring over new architecture

Hints

  • scripts/doctor.js
  • renderer empty-state components under renderer/
  • docs/INSTALL.md

Acceptance

  • Missing-agent state is obvious in one screen
  • npm test and npm run smoke pass
  • No voice features

Out of scope

Auto-downloading binaries without user consent; Windows/Linux ports.
