Added

  • Auto-start that keeps the station on air: scripts\install-autostart.bat.
    Run it as Administrator on the box and the station comes back by itself after a
    power bump or a Windows restart, with the sound still working and nobody at the
    keyboard. It turns on Windows autologon for the station account and creates two
    scheduled tasks: one that starts start-all.bat shortly after that account logs
    in, and a watchdog that checks every 5 minutes and restarts the stack if it stays
    unhealthy twice in a row. Add -check to see exactly what it would do without
    changing anything; scripts\remove-autostart.bat undoes it.

Changed

  • install-services.bat now refuses to run on a station. A Windows service runs
    in session 0, which has no audio device: the engine starts, plays nothing, and the
    old script still reported success while services.msc showed the service Running.
    It now stops and points you at install-autostart.bat instead. If you genuinely
    want the services on a box that never makes sound, pass -i-understand-no-audio.
  • DEPLOY.md no longer recommends services as the production setup for a station —
    see docs/AUTOSTART-CONSENSUS.md for the evidence and the reasoning.
