fix(daemon): normalize paths for case-insensitive filesystem comparison (GH#869)

Browse Source 
On macOS and Windows, filesystems are typically case-insensitive, so
/Users/foo/Desktop and /Users/foo/desktop refer to the same directory.
The daemon registry and discovery code was doing direct string comparison,
causing path mismatches when the casing differed.

Fix:
- Add NormalizePathForComparison() and PathsEqual() to internal/utils/path.go
- These resolve symlinks and lowercase paths on darwin/windows
- Update all workspace path comparisons in registry.go, discovery.go, and
  daemons.go to use PathsEqual()
