Bernd Rodler 4d817ea932 feat(electron): packaging targets - mac/win/linux, unsigned
Phase 1 step 6 of VNCprodbuild. electron-builder.config.js now has real
targets: mac (dmg, zip; x64+arm64), Windows (nsis; x64), Linux (AppImage,
deb; x64). Still no code signing (step 9 - needs an Apple Developer ID and
optionally a Windows cert, both human-owned purchases).

Icon wired from public/icon-512x512.png (the existing PWA manifest icon) -
electron-builder generates .icns/.ico from it automatically. This is a
stand-in, not a dedicated app icon: it's only 512x512 (the macOS icns's
largest slot wants 1024x1024+), and public/branding/Bulwark_Icon_App.svg
looks like the actual intended master for this, but it's a vector file and
this environment has no SVG rasterizer (rsvg-convert/ImageMagick/Inkscape)
to export it at high res. Flagged in the config's comments; someone with
the right tooling (or a designer) should export that SVG at 1024x1024+ and
swap the `icon` path.

Caught and fixed a real bug by actually running a --dir build rather than
just trusting the config: app-builder-lib's extraResources copy
unconditionally drops any directory literally named "node_modules" sitting
at the copy root (node_modules/app-builder-lib/out/util/filter.js), so the
naive `from: ".next/standalone"` silently stripped the standalone server's
own node_modules and the packaged app crashed with "Cannot find module
'next'" on launch. Fixed by copying from one level up (`from: ".next"` with
a `standalone/**/*` filter) so "node_modules" is never the literal copy
root. Verified by launching the packaged --dir mac build directly - it
boots the standalone server and serves the app with no errors, same as the
unpackaged dev flow.

// Phase 1 of the VNCprodbuild rollout (~/.claude/skills/VNCprodbuild/SKILL.md):
// step 1 - base config, no targets (superseded by this file)
// step 6 - this file: real packaging targets + branding icon (below)
// step 7 - electron-updater wiring (GitHub Releases feed) - adds a
// `publish` block on top of this file in a later commit.
// step 9 - still open: code signing / notarization (Apple Developer ID,
// optional Windows cert) - both are human-owned purchases, not
// configured here. Builds below ship UNSIGNED.

// Bulwark_Icon_App.svg at 1024x1024 and point `icon` at that instead.
