name: Release Desktop (Win7 legacy)

# One-off / on-demand build for legacy Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 users.
#
# The main release pipeline (release.yml) ships Electron 33 (Chromium 130+) and
# a PyInstaller backend built with Python 3.11 — NEITHER runs on Windows 7,
# which is why those users hit "不是有效的 Win32 应用程序" when launching the exe.
#
# To support Win7 we must pin BOTH halves to the last versions that still
# target it:
#   - Electron 22.3.27  (Chromium 108, last major to support Win7/8/8.1)
#   - Python  3.8        (last CPython to support Win7)
#
# This is a SEPARATE, manually-triggered workflow so it never touches the
# production R2/D1 publish flow or the auto-update feed. It just produces an
# unsigned NSIS installer and uploads it as a build artifact for manual
# download + testing. Delete this file whenever Win7 support is no longer worth
# maintaining — the main pipeline is completely unaffected.
#
# IMPORTANT for end users: Win7 must have SP1 + update KB2533623 (or the rollup
# KB4457144) installed, otherwise the Python 3.8 backend still fails to start.
