docs: drop the references to design notes that live outside the repo

2026-09-18T23:15:53Z

Seventeen comments across the Windows packaging targets pointed at C:\Users\admin\devel\light-client.md and msix-installer.md -- absolute paths on one developer's machine, unreadable to anyone else who clones this repository and unverifiable by any test here. The surrounding prose already carried the substance in every case, so these are removals, not rewrites, with two exceptions where the pointer was doing real work: electron-builder.msix.yml's header told the reader to go read §4 and §8 first. It now states the fact directly (an AppX/MSIX install never elevates, by design, so the package carries none of installer.nsh's elevation logic) and says the open items are called out at each declaration below -- which they already were, at `capabilities` and `customExtensionsPath`. The two "msix-installer.md §8" citations become "an open item" / "the other open item", beside the description of the item that was already there. Paragraphs the removals left ragged are re-wrapped. Verified: node suite 1403 pass / 4 skip (71 of them test_packaging_win.py), both electron-builder configs still parse as YAML, node --check on main.js. The .ps1 edits are inside <# #> comment headers plus one deleted Write-Host in a block that keeps two others; no pwsh on this machine to parse them. Not touched, and much larger: ~230 comments elsewhere in the codebase cite per-feature design notes (musicbay.md, mediacenter.md, auth-confirm.md and twenty more) that were merged into docs/MESHBAY_DESIGN.md.

feat(packaging): a Light installer target with no bundled node runtime

2026-09-11T15:51:51Z

MeshBay Light ships the Electron client + UI only -- no PyInstaller node freeze, no ffmpeg, no service install/autostart. Two standalone electron-builder configs (Full via package.json's build field, Light via electron-builder.light.yml passed with --config, which reads only that file -- confirmed against app-builder-lib's own config loader) rather than one config branching on a flag. build-win-common.ps1 holds the steps both orchestrators share (Node check, npm ci, Electron bump, sync-ui) so build-win.ps1 (Full) and the new build-win-light.ps1 cannot drift apart; build-win.ps1 is refactored to dot-source it with no behavior change (rebuilt and diffed byte-identical output). installer-light.nsh keeps the one thing Light still needs -- an unconditional firewall rule, since the client listens too -- and none of the service-mode/autostart machinery installer.nsh carries, which has nothing to gate without a bundled node. dist-light/ (Light's own electron-builder output dir) gets its own .gitignore line since the bare dist/ rule does not match it.
