Summary

This PR adds comprehensive XML documentation to four installer interface files (IFileInstaller, ILinuxInstaller, IWindowsInstaller, IMacInstaller).

Critical Issues

None found ✅

Suggestions

Minor consistency issue in ILinuxInstaller:
The InstallFromDpkg method is missing a CancellationToken parameter while IFileInstaller methods include it. For consistency across the codebase and to allow cancellation of long-running installation operations, consider adding:

Task<CommandResult> InstallFromDpkg(DpkgInstallOptions options, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);

Similarly for IMacInstaller.InstallFromBrew and both IWindowsInstaller methods - they should all support cancellation tokens for consistency.

However, this would be a breaking API change if implementations don't already support it, so it's better addressed in a separate PR if desired.

Verdict

APPROVE - No critical issues. The documentation is clear, accurate, and follows standard XML doc conventions. This improves the developer experience for users of these public APIs.
