fix: make backend watch and gradlew work on Linux/macOS - #79
Conversation
- backend/Makefile: watch target hardcoded a powershell call, which fails outright on non-Windows shells. Replaced with a POSIX `command -v air` check that behaves the same across Windows (Git Bash/WSL), macOS, and Linux. - mobile/gradlew: was committed with mode 100644 (non-executable), since Windows doesn't track the Unix exec bit. This makes `./gradlew` fail with "Permission denied" for anyone cloning on Linux/macOS. Restored the executable bit.

…on Linux/macOS .air.toml had bin = ".\\main.exe" — on Linux/macOS this resolves to a literal filename ".\main.exe" that never exists, since make build actually produces ./main.exe. air would build successfully but fail to exec the binary. Forward slash works identically on Windows.

In `@backend/Makefile`:
- Around line 51-54: Update the air installation branch in the Makefile so the
`air` executable is invoked from Go’s install directory rather than assuming it
is on PATH. Resolve and use GOBIN, falling back to GOPATH/bin, while preserving
the existing `go install` and air startup flow.

go install doesn't modify PATH, so if $GOBIN/$GOPATH/bin isn't already on it, the fallback install-then-run branch would install air successfully and then fail with "air: command not found". Resolve GOBIN (falling back to GOPATH/bin, matching go install's own resolution order) and invoke that path directly. Addresses CodeRabbit review comment on #79.
