Matt TooheyandClaude Fable 5 64eae442e3 feat(desktop): bundle the ACP bridge tools on Windows
The windows-x86_64 build was the one supported target left out of the
ACP bundling series: no lock entries, no staged resources, and — since
the series made the claude/codex catalog entries platform-unconditional
(empty install commands, "ships with the Buzz desktop app" hint) — a
Windows user without their own claude-agent-acp hit a dead end that
reinstalling could never fix. Everything upstream already exists (both
bridges publish win32-x64 native packages; the release job already runs
under Git Bash; the desktop's resolution/spawn layer is Windows-aware),
so extend the bundle to Windows. The one genuinely Windows-shaped
problem is the runtime shim: the staged bridges are bash wrappers that
Windows cannot execute — and the resolver only looks for <binary>.exe
anyway. Solve it with a tiny compiled launcher instead of .cmd shims,
which would have rippled a two-candidate list (.exe, .cmd) through the
shared resolution code and left an intermediate cmd.exe in the spawn
chain that kill_on_drop cannot reap through.

- New root-workspace crate buzz-acp-node-launcher: reads the sibling
  <binary>.shim.json ({entrypoint, nodeEngine, requiredNodeMajor})
  written by the staging scripts, resolves node from PATH, enforces the
  lock's Node major with the exact wrapper-shim error message and exit
  codes (127 missing / 1 too old), then runs node on the vendored
  entrypoint, proxying stdio and the exit code. On Windows the child
  joins a Job Object with KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE (mirroring buzz-dev-mcp's
  KillGroup) so terminating the launcher — as buzz-acp's kill_on_drop
  does — takes the node tree with it; on Unix it execs node like the
  bash shim, existing there so workspace clippy/tests pass everywhere.
  Unsafe is confined to the Win32 FFI, cfg-forbidden elsewhere, per the
  buzz-dev-mcp precedent.

- update-acp-tools-lock.mjs gains x86_64-pc-windows-msvc (npmOs win32,
  npmCpu x64, no libc; native executables claude.exe and
  vendor/x86_64-pc-windows-msvc/bin/codex.exe). The committed lock
  grows 8 -> 10 entries via a partial --target run: the two new
  Windows pins match the other targets' versions exactly (0.58.1 /
  1.1.2, sdk 0.3.205, codex 0.144.1-win32-x64) and the existing 8
  entries are preserved byte-identically.

- The staging scripts branch per target family through the shared
  wrapper lib: Unix targets keep the bash wrapper; Windows targets
  stage the launcher as <binary>.exe next to <binary>.shim.json
  (write_windows_node_launcher). The launcher builds via cargo on
  first use (ACP_NODE_LAUNCHER_EXE overrides; target dir resolved via
  cargo metadata, never ./target), a target with no locked tools still
  stages nothing without needing cargo, and dev-cache shims embed
  bin-dir-relative entrypoints because Git Bash absolute paths
  (/c/Users/...) are unresolvable to a native exe. The freshness path
  re-copies the launcher when the built binary changes (cmp-gated: a
  running agent's open .exe is never rewritten), the prune reduces
  <binary>[.exe][.stamp] and <binary>.shim.json to the lock's bare
  binary name, and harness-clis.json drops the .exe suffix from its
  cli keys so the app's bare-name auth probes ("claude", "codex")
  resolve the vendored CLIs on Windows too.

- release.yml's Windows job needs no extra wiring: the staging step
  added with the previous commit now finds lock entries and builds the
  launcher with the job's already-installed MSVC toolchain. The
  windows-rust CI job gains a cargo test step for the launcher so its
  spawn path gates on a real Windows runner.

Per the plan's risk note, codex-on-Windows maturity is a validate-
before-release concern: the lock's per-tool-per-target shape allows
dropping the codex-acp windows entry if a real session shakes out
badly. win32-arm64 packages exist but there is no arm64 Windows
release job; deferred until one exists. Node.js stays a user
prerequisite, surfaced by the existing node-runtime Doctor section.

Verification (macOS host):
- cargo test -p buzz-acp-node-launcher: 9 passed — manifest parsing,
  version parsing, path resolution, plus end-to-end launcher runs
  (arg/stdio/exit-code proxying via real node, missing-manifest,
  missing-entrypoint, and too-old-Node failures with the wrapper-shim
  message). cargo clippy --all-targets -D warnings and
  cargo fmt --all --check: clean.
- Cross-staged the Windows target end-to-end with
  ACP_NODE_LAUNCHER_EXE standing in for the MSVC launcher: both win32
  npm trees install and validate against the lock (integrity + X_OK on
  the vendored claude.exe/codex.exe, confirming the locked vendor
  paths), bin dir stages <binary>.exe + .exe.stamp + .shim.json with
  relative entrypoints, re-run performs zero installs, stray
  .exe/.shim.json artifacts are pruned, and prepare writes
  harness-clis.json with bare "claude"/"codex" keys mapping to the
  vendored .exe paths.
- Empty-target Windows staging (aarch64-pc-windows-msvc) exits 0 with
  the notice, without cargo on PATH.
- Darwin re-stage after the cross-stage: bash wrappers report 0.58.1 /
  1.1.2, manifests back to darwin shape — Unix staging unregressed.
- biome check on update-acp-tools-lock.mjs: clean.

Windows-runner validation (NSIS install, Doctor states, live claude +
codex sessions, auth probes against the vendored CLIs) needs a real
Windows machine and rides the first release train with these entries.
