NetX runs headless; these were ~70MB of the runtime (107MB -> 34MB) and made
CI Setups ~30MB larger than local ones. Setup: 105MB (CI) / 75MB -> 67MB.

- Prefer Python 3.12 (py -3.12 / Python312) even when another version is
first on PATH, matching the CI pin.
- Skip npm ci when node_modules already matches package-lock.json: npm ci
wipes node_modules first and a running Vite dev server leaves it
half-deleted.
- pip --no-warn-script-location: its PATH check realpath()s every entry
and aborts on a broken reparse point.
- README: local release / Forgejo / offline steps.

Installer: dynamic light/dark Win11 style, new brand wizard images, auto
language, exclusive run mode (tray / Windows service) plus autostart and
auto-update on the Tasks page (pre-selected from what is installed on
upgrades, untouched by silent updates), 5 localized Start Menu entries.
Tray: theme-aware rounded menu with live status, icons and status-dot tray
icon; health polled off the UI thread; Settings submenu toggles autostart
and daily updates; browser opened de-elevated via explorer.
Fixes:
- tray Stop/Start was ignored in service mode (service_run restarted the
children) - all start/stop now goes through runtime_ctl.ps1
- logon tray task and SYSTEM service task were killed after 72h (default
ExecutionTimeLimit); autostart was registered for the elevating account
and opened a browser on every logon
- uninstall left the NetXTray/NetXUpdate tasks behind
- silent auto-update killed the tray without restarting it
- repair_venv.ps1 was never staged into the release
- wildcard NETX_HOST (0.0.0.0) broke health checks
- ICO frames were PNG, which System.Drawing decodes as noise; icons now
use the current brand mark

0.4.5 venv pointed at the build machine user profile; other PCs failed to start API.
Bundle stdlib under python/runtime, repair pyvenv.cfg, and health-check before start.
