Problem

The Slippi Launcher validates an installed Dolphin build by running --version. Windows GUI builds currently rely on the option parser to print the version, but when launched with redirected pipes this produces no capturable output. The launcher therefore treats a valid beta installation as outdated and downloads it on every launch.

Fix

Handle --version before Qt initialization and write the semantic version directly to the inherited stdout handle on Windows, with fwrite as the non-Windows fallback.
