compute-guard: windytalk client-side :8788 refs filed as engine-side (Windy Talk's classification)

run-client.sh points at an ssh -L tunnel to the dev engine on Veron; index.html lines are display-only fallbacks;
the shipped desktop client defaults to the public engine on Veron. Same dated owner-approved exemption
(approved_by windy-hub, expires 2026-12-31), NOT local-user-hardware.
