feat: add 0install as an installation method on the downloads page

[bastianeicher]

Description

0install is a cross-platform decentralized package manager. Applications are packaged as "feeds": XML files listing available versions, where to download them, and how to extract and execute them. The 0install project maintains a feed for Node.js: https://apps.0install.net/javascript/node.xml

This adds 0install alongside the other community installation methods such as asdf and Chocolatey.

Validation

PR Summary

Low Risk
Download-page content and types only; no auth, runtime Node changes, or official installer logic.

Overview
Adds 0install as a community install option on the Node.js download page, alongside tools like asdf and Chocolatey.

Users on Windows, macOS, and Linux can pick it from the install-method dropdown and get OS-specific copy-paste commands: install 0install (winget vs curl script), wire up node / npm / npx from the official 0install Node feed (with pinned version on Unix), and set npm global prefix plus PATH. Wiring includes a new ZEROINSTALL install-method type, an entry in download constants, English platform blurb, a ZeroInstall SVG icon in the design system, and the zeroinstall.bash snippet consumed by the existing snippet loader.

Pull request overview

Adds 0install as a community installation method on the Downloads page, including a new UI icon and snippet logic to support installing pnpm via 0install’s feed instead of Corepack.

Changes:

• Added a new ZeroInstall installation-method icon and exported it through the UI icon index (plus Storybook coverage).
• Added ZEROINSTALL to the downloads install-method constants and the InstallationMethod type union.
• Introduced a new 0install download snippet and adjusted snippet processing to skip Corepack installation when using ZEROINSTALL + PNPM; updated the English pnpm snippet accordingly.

apps/site/snippets/en/download/zeroinstall.bash:7

• 0install add does not support a --version flag (per 0install CLI docs, version constraints are handled via 0install select --version=... / selections). As written, these commands will likely fail with an unknown option error, breaking the generated download snippet for 0install.

If you don't intend to pin an exact version here, remove the --version templating from the add commands (or switch to the documented 0install select flow if pinning is required).

0install add node https://apps.0install.net/javascript/node.xml${props.os === 'WIN' ? '' : ' --version=' + props.release.version}
0install add npm https://apps.0install.net/javascript/node.xml --command=npm${props.os === 'WIN' ? '' : ' --version=' + props.release.version}
0install add npx https://apps.0install.net/javascript/node.xml --command=npx${props.os === 'WIN' ? '' : ' --version=' + props.release.version}

packages/ui-components/src/Icons/InstallationMethod/ZeroInstall.tsx:9

• This new SVG icon component omits default width/height attributes on the root <svg>, unlike the other InstallationMethod icons in this folder (they default to 32×32). Without explicit sizing props, the browser default (300×150) can cause inconsistent rendering in consumers.

• These 0install add commands use --command=... for npm/npx. The published 0install man pages and user guide for add document the form 0install add NAME URI and do not list --command as a supported option for add, which makes this snippet likely to fail for users on some 0install versions/platforms.

0install add node https://apps.0install.net/javascript/node.xml${props.os === 'WIN' ? '' : ' --version=' + props.release.version}
0install add npm https://apps.0install.net/javascript/node.xml --command=npm${props.os === 'WIN' ? '' : ' --version=' + props.release.version}

I have:

• rebased one more time
• added an empty changeset to satisfy the "Changesets" CI job
• run prettier --write to satisfy the "Quality checks" CI job

The "Cromatic" CI job seems to be failing for reasons unrelated to the PR:

✖ Missing project token
             
             Sign in to https://www.chromatic.com/start and create a new project,
             or find your project token on the Manage screen in an existing project.
             Set your project token as the CHROMATIC_PROJECT_TOKEN environment variable
             or pass the --project-token command line option.

@avivkeller Could you help me finish this up?

@bastianeicher Can you rebase, I'll merge this post that
