emozilla 8eedb50bce feat(installer): Tauri bootstrap installer for first-time onboarding
Hermes-Setup.exe is a small signed Rust+Tauri binary that drives
scripts/install.ps1 stage-by-stage with a native UI matching the
desktop's design language. Replaces the chicken-and-egg pattern of
shipping a 200MB Electron app whose first launch existed only to
run install.ps1.

The architecture:

  Rust backend (src-tauri/):
    bootstrap.rs        orchestrator -- Tauri commands, stage iteration
    install_script.rs   resolve install.ps1 (dev checkout, cache, GitHub raw)
    powershell.rs       spawn powershell, line-stream stdout/stderr, parse JSON
    events.rs           BootstrapEvent types -- mirror bootstrap-runner.cjs
    paths.rs            HERMES_HOME resolution + tracing log setup
    build.rs            bakes BUILD_PIN_COMMIT / BUILD_PIN_BRANCH from
                        'git rev-parse HEAD' at compile time

  React frontend (src/):
    Tauri webview rendering 4 screens (welcome / progress / success /
    failure), driven by nanostores subscribing to the Rust event stream.
    Visual layer reuses the desktop's styles.css wholesale via @import
    so the installer and desktop never drift visually.

  Distribution:
    targets = ['app', 'dmg', 'appimage'] -- no NSIS/MSI wrapper. The
    raw target/release/Hermes-Setup.exe IS the artifact on Windows;
    .dmg + .app on macOS; AppImage on Linux. One file, double-click,
    no installer-installing-an-installer pattern.

  Compile-time pinning:
    build.rs reads 'git rev-parse HEAD' and emits
    cargo:rustc-env=BUILD_PIN_COMMIT=<sha> + BUILD_PIN_BRANCH=<branch>.
    bootstrap.rs's option_env!() picks these up so the binary fetches
    install.ps1 from the exact SHA it was tested against. CI / release
    builds can override via HERMES_BUILD_PIN_COMMIT env var.

  Windows manifest:
    hermes-setup.manifest declares level='asInvoker' so the
    productName 'Hermes Setup' doesn't trip Windows's installer-
    detection heuristic and refuse to launch without elevation.
    Also declares PerMonitorV2 DPI + UTF-8 active code page + Common
    Controls v6.

Limitations of this initial version:

  * No code signing -- Windows SmartScreen will warn once on Hermes-Setup.exe
    ('More info -> Run anyway'). The downstream binaries it produces
    (Hermes.exe in win-unpacked/, the hermes CLI) are locally-built and
    therefore don't carry MOTW, so they launch without SmartScreen
    intervention. Cert procurement tracked separately.

  * macOS and Linux build paths defined but untested -- Windows-only V1.
