Summary

Fix Omarchy web apps failing to launch when Microsoft Edge is the default browser.

Problem

Launching a web app with Microsoft Edge fails with an error similar to:

Path "--app=http:/youtube.com" does not exist

The browser executable lookup can return an empty result for the Microsoft Edge desktop entry. This causes uwsm-app to interpret the --app argument incorrectly instead of launching Edge.

Change

Fall back to resolving microsoft-edge-stable from PATH when the existing desktop-entry lookup does not return an executable.

The existing behavior remains unchanged for other supported browsers.

Testing

Verified with Microsoft Edge as the default browser:

omarchy-launch-webapp "https://youtube.com"

The web app now launches correctly in Edge app mode.
