Conversation
…say there is an installer and what it writes The site and the README told a visitor "no installer" and "nothing is written to the registry". That is true of the two zips and stops being true of the release that carries the .msi: the installer writes the program into Program Files, a Start menu entry, chrono on the machine PATH, an entry in Settings, Apps and the key HKLM\Software\DonislawDev\Chrono Mock. The download page now offers the .msi beside the zips, with its own row in the file table, and a paragraph in "What it leaves behind" that names exactly what the installer adds and what uninstalling leaves alone. That section also names the one option that writes a registry value, --elevated-embedded, which the page had never mentioned. The page title and description, the badges and the "Get it" line on the home page, and the FAQ answer to "Do I need administrator rights?" say the same thing: nothing to run needs administrator rights, the zips write nothing to the registry, and the installer needs them once, to install. The README says it in its feature list, its download table and the paragraph under it. The FAQ answer about Electron and Chromium said the session follows the host time zone. That stopped being true when the pages were put on the session zone, so it now says what is true and names the Electron main process, which keeps the real clock. Every anchor was matched exactly once per language before anything was written, and the site's own tests and the hygiene and installer guards pass. The English text is the source and the other twenty-one languages follow it. These pages go live when this merges, and they describe a file that exists only once the release is published, so the merge waits for the release.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe README and localized pages now document portable ZIP packages and a signed MSI installer. The pages describe MSI installation scope, permissions, system changes, and removal. Localized Electron FAQs also describe how time handling differs between the main process and pages or workers.

Full details: Clear User-Facing TextExplanation The PR introduces inconsistent names for the same two components. The README calls the GUI both “desktop app” and “window” (README.md lines 65, 73–78), and calls the CLI both “command line” and “CLI”. The download page similarly uses “window”, “desktop application”, “command line”, and “command-line tool” (site/pages/download/en.html lines 9, 28–39, 70–71). Users must infer that these terms identify the same downloads. Resolution Use one term for each component in all user-facing text. For example, use “desktop app” and “command-line tool” in the README, download page, home page, metadata, and all translations. Replace “window” when it means the Chrono Mock desktop app, and replace standalone “command line” or “CLI” when it means the command-line tool. Keep “window” only for an actual application window.

Correct the upgrade timeline.
The installer manifest says the new file goes into place immediately when an old copy is held open. The old copy remains until restart. Line 80 instead says the held file is replaced at restart. Describe the immediate replacement and deferred cleanup separately, so users know when the upgrade takes effect.

Qualify the ZIP registry claim.
The description says ZIP builds “write nothing to the registry.” README.md Lines 68-71 documents an opt-in ZIP use that does write a temporary registry value. Say that ZIP use makes no registry changes by default, and name the --elevated-embedded exception. Apply the same qualification to the corresponding home, download, FAQ, and localized metadata copy; each currently repeats the absolute claim. As per path instructions, “Content matches the current app.”
