chore(desktop): release v0.17.5

`appVersion: process.env.npm_package_version ?? '0.0.0'` only worked in
dev — pnpm sets that env var while running its lifecycle scripts. In
the packaged Electron build npm_package_version is unset, so every
installed user saw `v0.0.0` on the Changelog page and the version badge
permanently flagged them as "Update verfügbar" against their own
actually-current version.

Replace with a static `import pkg from '../package.json'` so Vite
inlines the version string into the preload bundle at build time. The
release script bumps package.json before electron-builder runs, so the
inlined value always matches the freshly-released version.

resolveJsonModule + esModuleInterop are already on in tsconfig.node.
