Problem / Motivation
The main
README.mdpreviously indicated that Windows had no desktop build available (- **Windows**: no desktop build yet, so run the Gateway from a source install), and the download badge at the top omitted Windows (Download - macOS | Linux).Following the addition and validation of the Windows desktop packaging workflows (
build-windows.yml,publish-windows.yml), the Authenticode-signed NSIS desktop installer (KiroCrew-Setup.exe) is actively published to the distribution CDN on theinsiderandnightlychannels.Why it matters
Windows users reading the README were guided exclusively toward running from source even though official signed desktop installer packages are actively available for download.
What changed
README.mdtoDownload - macOS | Linux | Windows.README.mdto include direct download links for the Windows desktop installer on the Insider and Nightly channels alongside macOS and Linux.Tests

Why no screenshot: documentation / link update in README.md.
