Two fixes for critical Windows issues (#81):
1. NSIS installer: disable allowToChangeInstallationDirectory to prevent
users from installing into shared directories where uninstall would
delete all their files. Also set deleteAppDataOnUninstall: false to
preserve user data.
2. Windows process cleanup: killServer() used SIGTERM which Windows
doesn't support, leaving zombie processes that block updates.
Now uses taskkill /T /F to kill the entire process tree on Windows,
ensuring no residual processes remain after app exit.

P0: Add "confirm" phase — wizard checks prereqs then shows Install button,
user must explicitly click before any brew/winget/npm command runs.
P1: Closing the wizard dialog while install is running now auto-calls
install:cancel to stop the backend process.
P2: On Windows, use taskkill /T /F /PID to kill the entire process tree
instead of just the shell wrapper, ensuring npm/winget actually stops.

P1: When Node.js is missing, auto-install via brew (macOS) or winget (Windows)
instead of stopping and asking user to install manually.
P1: Auto-open install wizard on first disconnect detection in Electron,
with localStorage flag to avoid re-prompting after dismissal.
P2: IPC install:start now throws on concurrent calls instead of returning
silent { error } object. Removed unused return values from handlers.

Add an auto-install wizard accessible from the ConnectionStatus dialog
when Claude Code CLI is not detected (Electron only).
- Electron main: install orchestrator with IPC handlers for check/start/cancel
- Preload: expose install API via contextBridge
- InstallWizard: multi-step dialog with real-time log streaming
- ConnectionStatus: add "Install Automatically" button when disconnected

Add killServer() that sends SIGTERM via UtilityProcess.kill(), waits
up to 3s, then escalates to SIGKILL via process.kill(pid). Fixes
window-all-closed to await shutdown before quitting, and uses a
persistent isQuitting flag in before-quit to prevent infinite loops.
Closes#51

Replace child_process.spawn with Electron's utilityProcess.fork() for
the Next.js server subprocess. utilityProcess runs as a Chromium
service process which doesn't register as a GUI app, eliminating the
extra Dock icon bounce on macOS.

Add Linux as a supported platform with AppImage, deb, and rpm targets
for both x64 and arm64 architectures.
Changes:
- electron-builder.yml: add linux section with AppImage/deb/rpm targets,
icon, category, and desktop entry configuration
- package.json: add electron:pack:linux script
- electron/main.ts: fix getIconPath() to return .png on Linux instead
of .icns (macOS format); enable loadUserShellEnv() on Linux since GUI
apps launched from desktop also have limited env
- README.md + README_CN.md: update supported platforms section
The README previously stated 'Linux builds are planned. Contributions
welcome.' — this delivers on that.
Root cause: electron-builder's @electron/rebuild only rebuilds native
modules found in the `files` config. Since better-sqlite3 enters the
app through extraResources (via .next/standalone/), it was skipped.
The afterPack hook was copying the system Node.js ABI (127) instead
of the required Electron ABI (143).
Fix:
- afterPack now explicitly calls `npx electron-rebuild` targeting the
exact Electron version and architecture from the build context
- Falls back to @electron/rebuild programmatic API if CLI fails
- Fails the build if rebuild cannot complete (no silent failures)
- Adds file size logging for verification
- Excludes `release/` from extraResources to prevent recursive nesting
- Adds startup ABI compatibility check in Electron main process with
friendly error dialog instead of cryptic crash

- Add src/lib/platform.ts: cross-platform Claude CLI discovery
(candidate paths, .cmd/.bat shell handling, where/which fallback)
- Refactor claude-status route and claude-client to use shared platform utils
- Electron main: Windows process spawning (windowsHide), PATH construction
with AppData/npm dirs, titleBarOverlay, .ico icon support
- electron-builder.yml: add win/nsis build targets
- package.json: add electron:pack:win script
- FolderPicker: drive switcher dropdown for navigating between drives
- SkillsManager: fix duplicate key warning with filePath fallback

Previously the database path depended on app.getPath('userData') which
varies with app name changes (CodePilot vs codepilot vs Claude GUI).
Now uses a fixed ~/.codepilot/ directory for both dev and production.
Includes automatic migration: on first launch, if the DB doesn't exist
at the new path, it checks old locations (Application Support variants
and the old dev-mode data/ folder) and copies the database over.

1. Explicitly pass process.env to the Claude Agent SDK's env option,
ensuring user shell env vars (ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN, ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL,
etc.) reach the claude subprocess in packaged builds.
2. Spawn the standalone server via /bin/sh with exec to prevent the
Electron binary from appearing as a separate Dock icon on macOS.

When launched from Dock/Finder, Electron's process.env is very limited
and misses vars from .zshrc/.bashrc (API keys, custom PATH, etc.).
Added loadUserShellEnv() to run a login shell and capture the full
environment, then pass it to the standalone server process. This fixes
"organization does not have access" errors for users with custom API
configurations.

electron-builder's @electron/rebuild compiles better-sqlite3 for
Electron's Node ABI. The standalone server must use Electron's
built-in Node (ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1) to match, otherwise the
native module fails with NODE_MODULE_VERSION mismatch.

- Find system Node.js binary instead of using Electron's Node
(avoids native module ABI mismatch with better-sqlite3)
- Detect server process crash and fail fast instead of waiting 30s
- Include server stdout/stderr in error dialog for debugging
- Expand PATH to include homebrew directories
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Replace fork() with spawn() + ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1 so the
standalone server runs correctly inside the packaged app
- Set cwd to standalone directory for proper dependency resolution
- Show error dialog on startup failure instead of silent quit
- Add Chinese README (README_CN.md)
