fix: use utilityProcess.fork() to prevent macOS Dock bouncing icon

Replace child_process.spawn with Electron's utilityProcess.fork() for
the Next.js server subprocess. utilityProcess runs as a Chromium
service process which doesn't register as a GUI app, eliminating the
extra Dock icon bounce on macOS.
