Commits on Sep 6, 2026

Install the deployment's dependencies without running other people's scripts

Run the app through bun, so a machine without Node can still start it

Serve the app as a build, so an install is not running a development server

Name a deployment that is older than the app, rather than restarting it five times

Say when the window could not become OpenBot

Keep the installers CI builds

Stop the Windows blocker screen offering to do something nothing does

Stop promising to install an engine that nothing installs

Stop the Windows build flashing consoles, offering Save as, and stranding the window on a dead page

Stop showing people terminal escapes, a package manager they do not have, and advice they already took

Indent the engine sentence the way the pinned formatter wants it
