Update README and enhance Electron app initialization

- Update the link in the README for the Agentic Jumpstart course to include a GitHub-specific query parameter.
- Ensure consistent userData path across development and production environments in the Electron app, with error handling for path setting.
- Improve the isElectron function to check for Electron context more robustly.
