Latent bug found while cutting v1.0.3: the dist script still forced electron-builder --win portable, overriding the nsis win target added in v1.0.2. So npm run dist silently built a portable .exe instead of the installer — the v1.0.2/v1.0.3 installer assets had to be built by invoking electron-builder directly.

  • package.json: distelectron-builder --win nsis.
  • README.md: desktop-app download/build/roadmap/FAQ now describe the Windows installer (-setup.exe) instead of the retired portable .exe.
  • CHANGELOG [Unreleased].

No engine/runtime change; docs + build script only.

The `dist` script still forced `electron-builder --win portable`, which
overrode the `nsis` win target added in v1.0.2 — so `npm run dist` silently
built a portable .exe instead of the installer (the v1.0.2/v1.0.3 installers
had to be built by invoking electron-builder directly). Point the script at
`--win nsis` so it matches build config and intent.

Also update the README desktop-app section (download + build instructions,
roadmap, FAQ) to describe the Windows installer (`-setup.exe`) instead of the
retired portable `.exe`.
