Build Windows installer (experimental) #6

	name: Build Windows installer (experimental)

	# Produces an actual Windows installer (.msi + NSIS .exe) via `tauri build` and
	# uploads it as a workflow artifact.
	#
	# ⚠️ Copyosity is a macOS-native app. On Windows every native feature (the
	# NSPanel UI, clipboard monitor, paste injection, Vision OCR, Apple Events) is an
	# inert stub, so the produced installer is a NON-FUNCTIONAL SHELL — it installs
	# and launches but does nothing useful. This exists only to have a downloadable
	# Windows binary while a real port is pending.
