- Check if ACE-Step API is running at startup (GET /health)
- If API available: use REST endpoints (POST /release_task, POST /query_result, GET /v1/audio)
- Model is already loaded by the API server, no double initialization
- If API not available: fall back to Python spawn (existing behavior)
- Model loads once via Python script
This prevents the issue where running `acestep-api --port 8001` loads the model,
then the UI spawns Python which loads it again, consuming double VRAM.
API response is cached for the session to avoid repeated health checks.

- Add resolvePythonPath() function that handles:
- PYTHON_PATH env var override (highest priority)
- Portable installations (python_embeded/python.exe)
- Standard venv with correct paths per OS:
- Windows: .venv/Scripts/python.exe
- Unix: .venv/bin/python
- Remove hardcoded Unix paths from acestep.ts and generate.ts
- Remove hardcoded /home/ambsd default path
Fixes "ENOENT" errors on Windows when spawning Python processes.
Users on Windows were getting "no such table: users" errors because
migrations were never executed. The migrate.ts file existed but was
not imported by the server entry point.
