Purpose

Document the first public release and its installation procedure. The proposed release-note body is versioned in docs/releases/v0.1.0.md for review before it is applied to GitHub.

Changes

• Describe the initial capabilities rather than compare against a nonexistent earlier public release. Credit the verified human contributor, welcome the first contributions and identify automated co-author assistance separately.
• Reevaluate every document in this PR. Put purpose and requirements first, use short direct procedures, remove promotional prose and consolidate repeated warnings.
• Use the published installer ZIP and exact menu labels. Keep installation and first-use order consistent across the README, installation guide, everyday guide and release notes.
• Preserve source-first shutdown, explicit game selection, recovery limits and the distinction between signed Git objects and unsigned Windows programs.

Verification

• Checked 179 Markdown links across the 11 PR documents, including relative anchors, published download URLs and public contribution links.
• Checked attribution against all three commits reachable from v0.1.0: one human author, @devigned; two source commits have Copilot App co-author trailers. No public pull request was merged before the tag.
• Checked the four first-use procedures: open the game, open VX Bridge, select the game, connect Labs, then check both connection status and the game.
• Verified both documentation commits with the owner's existing signing key, locally and on GitHub. git diff --check passes. CI for the revised head is reported in the PR checks.
• Confirmed the published release body, exact tagged source and all six asset digests are unchanged. The earlier downloaded-file verification and make verify-package verify-installer results remain recorded in the qualification guide.

Applying the release notes

After this PR is reviewed and merged, use docs/releases/v0.1.0.md as the body of the existing v0.1.0 release. The current tag workflow generates generic notes; it does not consume this file. No generator or workflow change is needed for this revision.

This PR does not merge itself, edit the published release, move the tag, rebuild or replace assets. Windows programs remain unsigned (no Authenticode signature), and v0.1.0 remains unqualified for interactive installation, Windows sign-in, installer servicing and live Labs/game use. No product, installer, simulator, private lifecycle workflow or stopped Labs probe was run.
