Do not use the first fuzzy match as the selected window.

If two windows share a title or class, .find() returns whichever client appears first. For example, two terminal windows can resolve to the same bounds even when the user selected the second window. Match a stable window identity where available. Otherwise, require an unambiguous match before returning bounds.

In `@electron/ipc/cursor/bounds.ts` around lines 139 - 145, Update the client
selection in the targetTitle matching flow so it does not select the first fuzzy
match when multiple windows match. Prefer a stable window identity when
available; otherwise, return bounds only when the match is unambiguous.
