feat(windows): ship an installer, with the zip as the portable option - #115

The Windows release was a zip to extract and run. It now also ships an Inno Setup installer built from the same tree, giving a Start menu shortcut, an optional desktop shortcut and an entry in Settings > Apps. - Per-user only (PrivilegesRequired=lowest), with no all-users option: on Windows the app downloads deps and add-ons beside the executable, so the install directory has to stay user-writable. - An upgrade keeps deps\ and addons\; uninstall removes them. templates\ and data\ are cleared before an upgrade, since Inno never removes a file a newer version dropped. - The installer is its own script, build-windows-installer.ps1, because build-windows.yml assembles the package inline rather than calling package-windows.ps1. Both now call it. - Inno Setup is pinned to 6.7.3 by SHA-256 in the workflow. - packaging_test.dart lints the per-user restriction, the uninstall and upgrade rules, and the filename across the .iss, scripts and upload.

Same Windows-checkout CRLF trap as the AppImage lint tests: the installer group asserted workflow lines ending in \n. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014GLXdGLfPwgYjW1AkonGqN
…e runner's The runner image already has an ISCC.exe on PATH (a Chocolatey shim), and build-windows-installer.ps1 found that before the pinned 6.7.3 the workflow had just installed. Install the pinned copy to its own directory and pass it as $ISCC; log the compiler's version.

ISCC.exe carries no usable version resource, so it printed 0.0.0.0. The path already names the pinned copy in CI. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014GLXdGLfPwgYjW1AkonGqN

Lands #114 on
main.#114 was stacked on
linux-appimage(#113). #113 was merged intomainfirst, and #114 was merged 19 seconds later while its base was stilllinux-appimage, so the Windows installer work landed on that branch instead ofmain.This PR carries exactly that work across: the content of #114 as already reviewed, nothing new. It merges cleanly.
