refactor(tauri): Improve builder initialization readability

The main application setup in src-tauri/src/main.rs has been refactored to enhance local variable scoping. By assigning the result of tauri::Builder::default() to a named variable, the code becomes clearer and more readable without changing runtime behavior.
