dtourolle 84fade99ec Put the developer docs under docs/dev and index the folder for users first
docs/ had 26 developer documents flat beside the manual, and the two
audiences are very differently sized: most readers want the manual and
the gesture reference, a few want the register, the designs and the
measurements. The manual and gestures.md stay at the top; everything for
someone changing the code moves to docs/dev/, and the two documents that
name their own successors — the v0.1 milestone and the UI-refinement plan
— go to docs/dev/archive/ rather than being deleted, since both are still
cited. docs/README.md is the index, users first.

Every reference follows: code comments, Cargo manifests, the workflows,
the pre-commit hook, the bench and traceability tools (which locate the
repo root by docs/dev/requirements.md now), packaging, the Docker READMEs,
CLAUDE.md, CONTRIBUTING.md and the README. The matrix links one level
deeper and is regenerated. Links out of the moved documents into the tree
gain a level; a link checker over every Markdown file finds none broken.

dtourolle 2836ec2881 Build the Windows installer in a container, and run it under Wine
docs/windows.md specified it; this is §9 steps 1, 2 and 4 run, and the
report in §10. A Debian trixie image with rustup, the MinGW cross
compiler, NSIS and Wine; a build.sh in the shape of the Android one;
a package.sh that stages the executable and the seven models behind
the same LFS-pointer guard every other packager carries, then runs
makensis; and the .nsi itself — per-user, no elevation, an uninstaller
that leaves the library alone.

Measured: the executable links first time once the link flags were
right, imports only Windows system DLLs, prints its version under
Wine, and the installer installs and uninstalls silently under Wine
with the registry key and the models where §5.2 says. What Wine
cannot show is the Start Menu shortcut: CreateShortcut is IShellLink
and does nothing headless.

Four claims in the spec's first draft were wrong and are corrected in
place with the reasoning kept: the whole-archive winpthread flag
breaks the link and was never needed; build scripts need a host gcc;
bookworm's Wine lacks the bcryptprimitives.dll rustc's std imports,
so the image is trixie; and NSIS's default stub is 32-bit, so the
installer says amd64-unicode and needs no i386 Wine.
