Subject: [PATCH] desktop: point the install command at a branch that exists
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The advertised curl URL referenced raw/branch/main, but main has never been
created (creating it is rejected by a branch-protection rule that matches the
name even with no branch behind it), so the one-command install 404'd. dev is
currently the repo's only branch and serves the script fine now that the repo
is public — verified 200, with all three v0.1.0 release assets resolving and
the AppImage downloading in full.

Flagged in the header to move back to main once that branch exists, so the
public install command stops tracking day-to-day work.
