refactor(experiment.sh): streamline build process for Capacitor-based Electron app

- Remove all commented-out legacy build steps (TypeScript compilation, AppImage packaging)
- Add Capacitor sync and Electron start sequence
- Update script documentation and dependencies
- Add proper error handling for Capacitor workflow
- Add git command check for capacitor config restoration
- Remove unused AppImage-related functions

This change aligns the build process with our Capacitor-based Electron architecture,
replacing the direct file copying approach with Capacitor's sync mechanism.

 # Description: Build script for TimeSafari Electron application
 # This script handles the complete build process for the TimeSafari Electron app,
-# including web asset compilation, TypeScript compilation, and AppImage packaging.
+# including web asset compilation and Capacitor sync.
-# It ensures all dependencies are available and provides detailed build feedback.
 #
 # Build Process:
 # 1. Environment setup and dependency checks
 # 2. Web asset compilation (Vite)
-# 3. TypeScript compilation
+# 3. Capacitor sync
-# 4. Electron main process build
+# 4. Electron start
-# 5. AppImage packaging
 #
 # Dependencies:
 # - Node.js and npm
 # - TypeScript
 # - Vite
-# - electron-builder
+# - @capacitor-community/electron
 #
 # Usage: ./experiment.sh
