fix(install): prevent install loop when re-running original exe#118
Conversation
Add standardized scaffolding: expand .gitignore, add .gitattributes, dependabot.yml, DebugMCP config, and permissions block on deploy-website workflow. Fix Program.cs to skip File.Copy when source and destination resolve to the same path, and ensure sentinel is written in IOException fallback.

…creen When the exe was installed to a different directory (e.g. AppData or a Desktop subfolder), re-running the original exe showed the install screen again because it had no .installed sentinel. Now TryInstall writes an .installed-at redirect marker next to the source exe pointing to the installed copy. On subsequent launches HandleNotInstalledLaunch detects the marker and launches the installed copy directly. Also fixes OnBrowseClicked to skip appending the PaperNexus subfolder when the exe is already in the selected folder, avoiding a confusing parallel copy.
