FreeOS Windows installer: rebrand desktop shell and bundle openXYOS - #7
Merged

Conversation
The Wails/NSIS shell now ships as FreeOS (name, icons, installer strings, and FreeOS-desktop-windows-*-<version>.exe artifacts). Desktop launch defaults to ~/.freeos / FREEOS_HOME, starts a bundled Node + openXYOS sidecar, and enables the organization module on first run so install → open is the product path.

Sample the logo-center teardrop as #0033FF for Ant Design and CSS brand tokens. Keep rose as an optional palette and use #6B8CFF for dark-mode links so text stays readable on dark chrome. Co-authored-by: XYAI Labs <haoboy8@gmail.com>

JSON stores native Windows paths, so as_posix() substring checks fail on win32. Compare resolved Path values like the already-merged fix. Co-authored-by: XYAI Labs <haoboy8@gmail.com>

Scale the FreeOS mark to fill the 512px app icon so Explorer shortcuts are not a tiny circle on a white tile. Verify WebView2 after the bootstrapper, pin shortcut Start-in to $INSTDIR, log host/sidecar output under ~/.freeos/logs, and surface fatal startup errors in a message box instead of exiting the windowsgui process with no UI.
