Second launch signals the existing instance to show its window via a named pipe, then exits silently. Prevents duplicate tray icons, audio pipelines, and server discovery services. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Prevents multiple instances of the Sendspin Windows client from running simultaneously. When a second instance is launched while one is already in the system tray, it signals the existing instance to show its window and exits silently.
