`Antigravity 2.0` installer hijacks existing IDE launcher on Windows

The installer writes 2.0 into the same Electron resources path as the old IDE. Side-by-side use is broken; Windows users should install separately or keep the workaround ready.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Antigravity IDE.exe and Antigravity.exe both load resources/app.asar first, so the executable name does not isolate products.
  2. Existing IDE 1.107.0 files remain on disk, but resources/app/ is shadowed by the new app.asar; the launcher opens 2.0 instead.
  3. Temporary fix: rename resources\app.asar so the IDE falls back to resources\app\. This disables clean coexistence with 2.0.
  4. The durable fix is a separate install directory such as %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Antigravity2\, or installer detection before overwriting shared resources.
