Electron pre-installs its own uncaughtException listener and only warns on
unhandled rejections, so a main-process fault usually leaves the app running
with the reason on stderr — which nothing captures when the app is launched
from Finder or the Start menu. The fault never reaches desktop.log, so it is
absent from `hermes debug share` and the user can only describe symptoms.
Record both to desktop.log and flush synchronously, since a fault that does
prove fatal leaves no chance for the batched async flush. Five loadURL calls
were also unhandled, each able to leave a blank window with no explanation
anywhere the user can send us; they now name the surface that failed.

A pooled backend entry pointing at a remote host has no child process, so
the 'exit' handler that clears a dead local backend never fires. The
renderer's 60s keepalive touch also spares it from the idle reaper. Nothing
was left to retire the descriptor, so once the host went away the pool kept
serving it and every profile bound to that host stayed broken until restart.
Pooled remote descriptors now share the primary's liveness policy: probed on
the same revalidate tick, keyed per base URL, and dropped only after the
same consecutive-failure limit, so the next ensureBackend() rebuilds.
