Newsmonger v0.2.0-beta.18 (beta)

Beta / pre-release. This build is opt-in. The desktop auto-updater keeps pointing at the prior stable release.

• Fixed the end-to-end test harness on Windows: the client build step now spawns npm the way current Node requires (npm.cmd through a shell), replacing a spawn that failed before any test could run.
• Fixed test servers failing to launch on Windows with a misleading node.exe ENOENT — working directories are now resolved from file: URLs correctly instead of via a raw URL pathname.
• The real-provider E2E suite now launches its server with node --import tsx/esm from an explicit repo root, so it runs under a command sandbox and on Windows.
• Added a Windows end-to-end CI job that runs on pushes touching the test harness, config, scripts, or the CLI entry point, so Windows-only breakage surfaces immediately instead of at the next release.
• macOS code signing and notarization (FR-5.5) is now documented as shipped and verified rather than partially complete, with the evidence from recent signed releases.
