Subject: [PATCH] feat(editor): integrate local backend IPC handlers

- Add setupBackendIPC() call in app.on('ready')
- Add backendManager.stopAll() cleanup on app before-quit
- Backend IPC now available for renderer process

Test with DevTools:
  await require('@electron/remote').ipcRenderer.invoke('backend:list')
  await require('@electron/remote').ipcRenderer.invoke('backend:create', 'Test')
  await require('@electron/remote').ipcRenderer.invoke('backend:start', backendId)
