Fix Android mic permission, simplify launcher, remove broken biometric

- MainActivity: request RECORD_AUDIO permission at app start via
  ActivityCompat (not WebChromeClient override which broke Capacitor bridge)
- Simplify launcher: remove server reachability check (was failing in
  WebView), just save URL and navigate directly
- Remove biometric auth from launcher (Capacitor plugins need ES module
  bundler, not available in plain HTML). Biometric can be added later
  via the web app with proper Capacitor runtime.
- Add webContentsDebuggingEnabled for development
