+Karl requested closing the Windows delivery and deferring further platform work.
+The installed 0.1.6 process was rechecked: executable path matches the user
+installation and the process is responsive. No redundant reinstall was needed.
+The Desktop `searchi.lnk` now has Windows hotkey `Ctrl+Alt+S`, verified by reading
