Newsmonger v0.2.0-beta.22 (beta)

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

• Fixed the release-assets helper's download-section command silently doing nothing on Windows — its entry-point check compared a hand-built file:// string against import.meta.url, which never matched there, so it produced no output and no error on a bad invocation.
• Windows unit runs get a 30s test/hook timeout instead of the 5s/10s used elsewhere, so a uniformly slow runner stops producing a different set of spurious timeouts each round.
• Temp-dir cleanup no longer retries a removal that cannot succeed, removing a 250 ms per-test penalty on Windows that was itself timing suites out.
• Suites whose subject is POSIX itself (execute bits, #! scripts, :-separated PATH, bash stubs) are now explicitly skipped on Windows with a stated reason, rather than failing or registering an empty suite.
• The recorded-CLI-session replay and the release-script executability check now handle Windows path separators and NTFS permissions instead of asserting POSIX behavior.
• A new tree-wide guard rejects hand-built file://${…} URLs, catching the same class of path-vs-URL confusion as the existing .pathname rule.
• TypeScript, TSX and Markdown files are normalized to LF via .gitattributes, and .bin/.png/.svgz are marked binary so no checkout can corrupt them.
