Oliver Kieselbach 3a898b5071 Bootstrap leaves nothing behind: loader 1.3 and installer 2.7 (D-375)
- Loader 1.3 downloads into a protected run folder of its own
  (%ProgramData%\AutopilotMonitor-Loader-<8 hex>), runs the installer only when it
  is signed by the pinned publisher and declares the installer role and version
  2.7 or later, removes the folder after a successful run and never touches the
  agent folder. Unbound arguments now reach the installer by name; the array
  splat bound them by position.
- Installer 2.7 refuses without elevation and decides before it writes: guards
  read HKLM through the 64-bit view (a 32-bit host never saw the deployment
  marker), guard 5 is covered by the agent check. An agent's folder stays as it
  is, a skip without agent removes the folder, an install starts from an emptied,
  protected folder and stages the ZIP in a run folder. It moves the MSI's working
  directory out, writes stderr only on failure and removes the copy older loaders
  left at the fixed path.
- Help texts of both scripts state what customers need; .CHANGELOG, which made
  Get-Help ignore the help, gives way to the Platform Changelog.
- OOBE go-script: the installer's shared helpers, its own elevation check
  (#Requires is ignored under irm | iex), a run folder.
- Publish: version read line-anchored, the loader's own check on the exact
  publish bytes, installers before loaders, -Channel dev (dispatch input).
- Bootstrap MSI 1.2.0; Test-ShouldBootstrapAgent reads the 64-bit view;
  Uninstall removes loader run folders and keeps the Deployed marker.
- Tests: Pester unit suites, an integration harness running the real scripts
  (loader 1.2 and the MSI 1.0 runner frozen in TestData), BootstrapContractTests;
  the gate runs on windows-2022 and windows-2025, once more as SYSTEM, and against
  a real standard user.

[skip actions]: published by a dispatch of publish-scripts.yml, channel dev first.
