📄 Description

What

Enable Chromium spellchecker for the Electron app and embedded BoostHub webview.

This change:

Sets webPreferences.spellcheck = true on the main BrowserWindow so the built-in spellchecker is available.
Enables spellcheck in the <webview> by adding spellcheck=yes to the webpreferences feature string.

Why

Issue #695 requests spellcheck support (as a preference toggle). Electron provides a built-in spellchecker; this PR wires it up at the window/webview level to make it available.

Fixes #695.

Notes

This does not force spellcheck on everywhere by itself; it ensures the capability is enabled. Actual editor behavior can still be controlled via spellcheck attributes / app settings.
