Test Junction creation for possible elevated permissions
User Story
As a user who encounters permission errors when toggling addons, I want the app to offer to restart with administrator privileges, So that I can complete the operation without manually restarting.
Beta testers report receiving "failed to toggle addon" errors when toggling addons. The root cause is that creating/removing NTFS junctions requires administrator privileges on some Windows configurations.
Current Behavior
User toggles addon
Backend attempts junction create/remove
Windows returns "Access is denied"
Backend returns:
"Access denied. Please run the application as administrator to create junctions."Frontend displays generic error message
User must manually close app and restart as administrator
Desired Behavior
When a permission error occurs, the app should:
Detect the specific "Access denied" error
Prompt the user with a clear explanation
Offer to restart the application with elevated permissions
(Ideally) Resume the operation after restart
