Windows PowerShell 5.1's Out-File -Encoding utf8 prepends a UTF-8 BOM, corrupting the first
GITHUB_ENV line so CARGO_WORKSPACE_DIR silently never got set -> windows-reactor build.rs panic
-> CI build failed (runs 8765/8768). pwsh 7 writes UTF-8 without a BOM. Installed PowerShell 7.6.2
MSI on the runner and put C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7 on the daemon wrapper PATH so jobs find
pwsh; switched all windows.yml steps to shell: pwsh. (Reproduced locally with CARGO_WORKSPACE_DIR
set: the build is green in 2m37s — the BOM was the only issue.)

Re-add the paths filter (the trigger was never the problem — the runner was registered at the
wrong scope, so org-repo runs found 'no fitting runner' despite the runner showing idle). Document
in setup-windows-runner.ps1 that the registration token must be GLOBAL (Site Administration ->
Actions -> Runners), like the Linux runner. CARGO_WORKSPACE_DIR is set via GITHUB_ENV in a step
(the job-env ${{ github.workspace }} form didn't resolve, leaving it unset -> reactor build.rs
panic).

The paths filter wasn't dispatching the run on the newly-added workflow (the runner is healthy
and 'declare successfully', but received no task). Match apple.yml: trigger on every push to main
+ PRs. Also set NO_COLOR in the daemon wrapper so runner.log is plain text (the ANSI spinner
garbled it).

Two fixes after live setup on home-windows-1: register from $RunnerHome (act_runner writes
.runner relative to CWD, so it must run there — it had landed in the SSH home and the daemon
couldn't find it), and run the daemon under cmd-level redirect (>> runner.log 2>&1) so its native
stderr stays out of PowerShell's error stream. Runner is live: windows-amd64:host, SYSTEM
scheduled task, "declare successfully" against git.unom.io.

PowerShell 5.1 reads .ps1 in the system code page; an em-dash inside a string literal misparsed
(its bytes look like a quote) and the non-ASCII username in the daemon wrapper would have been
mangled. Drop the em-dash and copy rustup toolchains to C:\Users\Public\.rustup so the wrapper
carries no non-ASCII path. Prep validated: act_runner 1.0.8 + Node 20 + config generated.

The Windows analogue of scripts/ci/setup-macos-runner.sh: downloads act_runner (gitea-runner)
in host mode, bumps Node 20 via nvm4w (actions/checkout@v4), registers against git.unom.io with
labels windows-amd64:host, and installs a SYSTEM scheduled task that keeps the daemon alive
across reboots. The daemon's env wrapper hard-codes this box's MSVC/WinUI toolchain (cargo/rustup,
NASM, CMake, LLVM, FFmpeg, the ASCII CARGO_HOME SDL3's PCH needs) so the Windows workflow inherits
a working toolchain. Idempotent; token (from org unom -> Settings -> Actions -> Runners) not
persisted.
