Summary

Host-confirmed release of v0.2.22 (rant 2026-08-10T21:07:12). v0.2.21's packaged Windows GUI crashes on startup (Cannot find module './conn-manager') — the fix (#651) plus two user-facing improvements are ready on master:

PR	Content
#648	README simplify — ~150 lines, source-install/advanced/architecture moved to DEVELOPMENT.md; feature table trimmed; README.cn.md synced
#649	Windows release adds zip archive of the exe installer (CI produces EMRG-<ver>-windows-x64.zip)
#650	evolution_prompt quick-ref (#649)
#651	GUI packaged fix — files whitelist adds conn-manager.js + gui-state.js + require-coverage guard; fixes v0.2.21 Windows packaged-GUI startup crash
#652	evolution_prompt quick-ref (#651)

Version bump 0.2.21 → 0.2.22 in the same 7 files as the v0.2.21 bump (pyproject.toml, emrg/__init__.py, emrg/gui/package.json, emrg/gui/package-lock.json ×2, packaging/build-runtime.sh, packaging/make-installer.sh, uv.lock) — exact single-line version changes only.
