Reinstalling deleted files Ely never installed, and a busy file left a half-removed install. The installer now writes the top-level names it installs (.ely-files, from packaging/windows/files.sh); upgrades and uninstall remove only those, and releases before the list only in the folder the registry names. It checks that every listed file can be written, moves them all into .ely-old, and on any refusal puts them back and exits 2. A file that cannot be written fails the install, which removes what it created and restores the old release. tests/scripts/windows-installer.sh covers each case.

Packages: packaging/macos/release.sh writes each app's .app and .dmg, the source archive and the upstream source archive (patched MuPDF, Git) to dist/. Linux and Windows recipes are in packaging/linux and packaging/windows; they have not been run on those systems.
Tests
cargo test --workspace, the window scripts in tests/scripts (macOS, Accessibility permission), and the benchmark tests/perf/bench.py.
