Installer Developer Notes

 Developer stack: The installer project is built with Rust. Developers working on the installer should use the Rust SDK.

Change Log

  • Rebuilt the page as a compact onboarding flow instead of a plain article.
  • Moved setup-path choice to the top of the page.
  • Preserved installer, manual installation, antivirus warning, support, and developer details.
  • Converted long-form setup information into decision panels, progress steps, reference tables, and alert blocks.
  • Added a “Before You Enter Sinfar” quick-link section for new-player continuation.
