docs(windows): add native Windows guide + install one-liner on landing page (#22089)
New page: website/docs/user-guide/windows-native.md — comprehensive
Windows-native deep dive covering:

- Quick install (irm | iex) and parameterized form
- What the installer does end-to-end (uv, Python 3.11, Node 22,
  PortableGit, messaging SDK bootstrap)
- Feature matrix: native Windows vs WSL2 (dashboard /chat is WSL-only)
- How Hermes runs shell commands on Windows (Git Bash resolution,
  HERMES_GIT_BASH_PATH override, MinGit layout pitfall)
- UTF-8 console shim (configure_windows_stdio, opt-out via
  HERMES_DISABLE_WINDOWS_UTF8)
- Editor handling (notepad default, VSCode/Notepad++/nvim overrides,
  why Ctrl-X Ctrl-E used to silently do nothing)
- Ctrl+Enter for newline in the CLI
- Gateway as a Scheduled Task (schtasks + Startup-folder fallback,
  pythonw.exe detached spawn, why not a Windows Service)
- Data layout (%LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes vs %USERPROFILE%\.hermes split)
- PATH after install, environment variables, uninstall
- Process management internals (bpo-14484 os.kill(pid, 0) footgun,
  _pid_exists primitive, check-windows-footguns.py CI gate)
- 10+ concrete pitfalls with fixes

Also:
- docs/index.md: add inline 'Install' section with both Linux/macOS
  curl and Windows irm|iex one-liners right under the hero CTAs.
  Updates the quick-links row to include 'native Windows'.
- sidebars.ts: add Windows (Native) entry above Windows (WSL2).
- windows-wsl-quickstart.md: point native-install cross-link at the
  new dedicated page (was going to installation.md#windows-native).
- reference/environment-variables.md: document HERMES_GIT_BASH_PATH
  and HERMES_DISABLE_WINDOWS_UTF8 (previously undocumented).

Website

This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.

Installation

yarn

Local Development

yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Deployment

Using SSH:

USE_SSH=true yarn deploy

Not using SSH:

GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy

If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.

Diagram Linting

CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
