bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5 d554724aa4 App: a launch whose window never drew makes the next use OpenGL (#243) ...

On some older Intel integrated GPUs (UHD 600, UHD with 2020 drivers)
the graphics driver crashes EffectCraft as its window's DirectX 12 or
Vulkan device is created (exit code 0xC0000005): the process
disappears with no message, and only WGPU_BACKEND=gl helped. A driver
crash can't be caught, so each launch now leaves a marker in the
settings folder until its window draws. A launch that finds the
previous one's marker switches the new Settings ▸ Startup & Repair ▸
Window Graphics (Automatic / OpenGL) to OpenGL and says so in the
status bar. A window that fails to open says the next launch will try
OpenGL. WGPU_BACKEND still wins; macOS has no OpenGL backend, so it
never switches there.

Tests: a_launch_that_never_drew_switches_the_next_to_opengl (app),
window_graphics_is_validated (engine). Checked end to end with a
leftover marker: the app opened on OpenGL with the notice and cleared
the marker.
