fix: first-run wizard reliability and node startup performance
Node daemon no longer blocks startup on slow directory scans — initial indexing runs in the background so the node reaches "running" immediately after transports are up. Fixes the wizard failing to detect the node when large USB/NAS roots take minutes to scan. Also: wizard key-linking deadlock resolved (main.js links during poll), invite form stays in DOM during reconnects (disabled instead of destroyed), pairing code bridges to renderer, and firewall docs for LAN casting added.

+## Firewall (LAN casting)
+
+The Electron client runs an HTTP relay on **TCP 19550-19553** to stream
+decrypted video to Chromecast / Smart TV devices on the local network.
+Chromecast discovery uses **mDNS (UDP 5353)**. These ports must be open on the
+machine running the client.
+
+### Fedora / RHEL (firewalld)
+
+```bash
+sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=mdns
+sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=19550-19553/tcp
+sudo firewall-cmd --reload
+```
+
+### Ubuntu / Debian (ufw)
+
+```bash
+sudo ufw allow 5353/udp comment "mDNS - Chromecast discovery"
+sudo ufw allow 19550:19553/tcp comment "meshbay cast relay"
+```
