* [AI] Revert crypto.randomUUID back to uuid library
Partial revert of #7529. Restores the `uuid` package dependency in
api, crdt, desktop-client, loot-core, and sync-server, swapping every
`crypto.randomUUID()` call introduced by that PR back to `uuidv4()`
(and the `uuid()` alias in RuleEditor.tsx and ruleUtils.ts where it
was previously used). The lint rule, docs entry, and `vi.mock('uuid')`
test setup are restored as well. The `fs-extra` removals in
desktop-electron from the same PR are left in place.

* [AI] Use the uuidv4 alias in RuleEditor and ruleUtils
The previous commit preserved the `v4 as uuid` alias in these two files
to match their pre-#7529 state, but the project convention (and lint
rule message) is `v4 as uuidv4`. CodeRabbit flagged the inconsistency,
so normalize the alias and call sites in both files.

* [AI] Pin uuid to ^11.1.0 to fix Electron e2e
uuid v13 is ESM-only (no CJS entry, only an exports map with `node` and
`default` conditions both pointing to ESM files). The Electron backend is
bundled as CJS by `loot-core/vite.desktop.config.mts` and loaded via a
dynamic `await import(process.env.lootCoreScript!)` in the
desktop-electron utilityProcess; that pipeline appears to fall over on
the ESM-to-CJS transform of uuid v13 in Vite 8 / rolldown, which makes
the Functional Desktop App e2e job fail consistently while every other
check (web e2e, VRT, unit tests, lint, typecheck) passes.
uuid v11 still ships `dist/cjs/index.js`, so pinning each workspace's
uuid range to ^11.1.0 sidesteps the resolution path entirely. The API
is unchanged (`v4` is still the same export), so no source-code changes
are needed.

* [AI] Capture Electron stdout/stderr in desktop e2e fixture (TEMP DEBUG)
Pipe the Electron main+utility process stdout/stderr into both the
playwright runner stderr and an electron.log file inside the test's
output directory. This makes the actual backend error visible in the
Functional Desktop App job output and in the desktop-app-test-results
artifact.
Will be reverted once the failure cause is identified.

* Revert "[AI] Capture Electron stdout/stderr in desktop e2e fixture (TEMP DEBUG)"
This reverts commit 4cb5148859.
* [AI] Fix rebuild-electron and bump uuid back to ^13.0.0
The Functional Desktop App e2e job had been failing with
ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED on better-sqlite3 (NODE_MODULE_VERSION 127 vs 140),
which surfaced because this PR's yarn.lock change invalidated the
GitHub Actions node_modules cache. With a fresh install,
rebuild-electron is responsible for compiling better-sqlite3 and
bcrypt against Electron's ABI — but since #7712 the script has been
running from the repo root, where neither module is a direct
dependency, so electron-rebuild silently exits as a no-op.
Restore the `-m ./packages/desktop-electron` scoping that #7712
removed, so the rebuild actually finds and rebuilds the modules.
This fix is technically out of scope for this PR but it blocks any
PR that touches yarn.lock.
Also revert the `^11.1.0` pin from the previous commit back to
`^13.0.0`. The pin was based on a wrong hypothesis (that uuid v13's
ESM-only packaging was breaking the bundle); now that the real
cause is identified, there is no reason to deviate from the
pre-#7529 version.
