ospab 66368c9d0f fix(gui): helper task checked only its name, not the exe it points at
A Scheduled Task stores an absolute path. Checking that a task named
"OSTP TUN Helper" exists said nothing about whether its <Command> still points
at the helper we are about to run, and the paths do drift: a dev build
registers target\debug\ostp-tun-helper.exe, an installer registers Program
Files, and moving or reinstalling the app leaves the old path behind.

That failed silently in the worst way. schtasks /Run reports success for
merely ACCEPTING the launch request — a task whose exe no longer exists fails
afterwards, out of band, with nothing returned to us. So launch_as_admin
returned Ok, and the caller then sat in its 60-second connect loop before
reporting "Timeout connecting to helper." On every connect, permanently, with
no way out except deleting the task by hand.

The check now reads the registered <Command> back and compares it to the exe,
re-registering through the existing /F overwrite when they differ: one consent
prompt, once, instead of a permanent silent breakage.

The path is read via /Query /XML rather than /FO LIST /V because the list
format's field labels are localized — "Task To Run" is "Задача для запуска" on
a Russian Windows — while XML tag names are not. schtasks emits UTF-16LE with
a BOM there, which is decoded explicitly, with UTF-8 tolerated as a fallback.
Both paths are canonicalized before comparison so casing, `..` and 8.3 short
names do not read as a mismatch; a path that cannot be canonicalized no longer
exists, which is itself grounds to re-register.
