Debian apt ships EOL Node 18 which crashes Vite 8. Prep stage installs Node 20
from NodeSource when node is missing or <20; package.json declares engines.

PowerShell resolves ExternalScript (.ps1) ahead of Application (.cmd), and both
lived in the directory the installer puts on PATH -- so in PowerShell `ncp` ran
the .ps1 and was execution-policy-bound again, the exact thing the .cmd exists
to avoid. Its other justification (giving ncp to pwsh on Linux) stopped being
true once /usr/local/bin/ncp existed: pwsh runs a PATH symlink to a shell script
as an Application. A test now prevents the file coming back.

Ports the ncp PATH work from upstream. Registering ncp as a shell-profile
function failed three ways on Windows: the default Restricted execution policy
blocks the profile itself, profiles don't exist outside PowerShell (cmd, Win+R,
Task Scheduler), and the self-elevating installer writes the admin's profile.
Windows now ships management/ncp.cmd and the installer appends management\ to
the Machine PATH via [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable -- never setx, which
truncates PATH at 1024 chars. A .cmd is exempt from the execution policy.
Linux symlinks /usr/local/bin/ncp -> management/nexus-cli.sh, falling back to
the old .bashrc function when sudo is unavailable.
Also renames requirements-wsl.txt to requirements-windows.txt and purges stale
WSL references, including vite.config.js's dev-server comment and
controlpanel.py's "Check WSLg." error string.

bin/install.sh still rsynced --delete from a backup path retired in July, so
the documented Linux install both failed and could erase a working tree. Every
step it claimed to do already lives in bin/sync.py, shared with Windows.
Root ./install.sh is now a thin wrapper over `sync.py restore`, so deployment
stays one bash command. It also registers ncp/promethean in ~/.bashrc, which
was the only thing the old script uniquely did.
Split restore-linux.sh into runtime (Ollama binary, shell aliases) and desktop
(XFCE panel, theme, os-release). Only desktop writes outside the repo, it now
auto-skips off XFCE, and `--no-desktop` skips it explicitly. Two tests keep the
stage names in sync and the $HOME writes confined to the desktop stage.
