-; Per-user install, no elevation (package.json build.nsis). This does three
-; things beyond the default: put the bundled daemon on the user's PATH so
-; `meshbay-node` works in a terminal; offer to add the inbound firewall rules
-; in one elevated step instead of two "Allow access" dialogs later; and clean
-; up the one piece of state that lives outside the install directory (the W3
-; "run at sign-in" launcher).
+; Per-user install, no elevation (package.json build.nsis) -- that part never
+; changes. What this adds, all conditional on interactive setup (never
+; ${Silent}):
+; - the bundled daemon dir on the user's PATH, so `meshbay-node` works in a
+; terminal;
+; - a choice of autostart: the normal per-user Startup-folder launcher (no
+; admin, starts at sign-in -- see meshbay_node.platform._startup_vbs),
+; or a background-service mode (one admin confirmation, starts at boot,
+; no sign-in required -- see meshbay_node.platform.service_install and
+; packaging/win/service.ps1);
+; - the inbound firewall rules, folded into that SAME elevation when service
+; mode is chosen, or offered on their own otherwise -- never two UAC
+; prompts for one install;
+; - cleanup of whichever of those is outside $INSTDIR on the way out (the
+; Startup .vbs; the scheduled task and firewall rules, together, if the
+; user opts in).
;
; Deliberately NOT touched:
; - %LOCALAPPDATA%\meshbay\ (node.toml, keystore.enc, unlock.key, data/) --
; the keystore must survive an uninstall/reinstall; installers place files,
-; never remove secrets.
+; never remove secrets. This is also why service mode needs no code
+; changes to platform.py: it runs as this same user (S4U), so it is the
