Most people who want MeshTerm have a radio and a terminal, not a Python toolchain. This is the install for them: one file, download it, run it. `packaging/meshterm.spec` freezes the app with PyInstaller in console mode — which is not a detail, since a windowed build of a terminal program starts with nowhere to draw and exits. The assets land at `meshterm/assets` inside the bundle so that `Path(__file__).parent.parent / "assets"` keeps resolving exactly as it does in a checkout, and bleak's per-platform backends are named as hidden imports because nothing static ever sees the one that actually gets used. UPX is off: a few megabytes are not worth being flagged by antivirus on a first release. The build was run here rather than only written. The Windows executable comes out at 14 MB, runs from a directory with no source tree in sight, and draws the specimen card — which is the real test, because the specimen reads the asset files. `installers.yml` does the same on five machines, because frozen builds cannot be cross-compiled. Windows, macOS on both Apple silicon and Intel (plenty of people still have one, and an arm64 build will not run for them), and Linux on x64 and ARM64 — the last for the uConsole. Each leg runs the binary from a temporary directory before uploading it, so a build that only works beside its own source fails on the runner instead of on somebody's laptop, and each one gets a checksum written beside it. It publishes nothing; attaching these to a release stays a separate decision. Also here: `meshterm --help` now opens with the same sentence as the package summary, rather than a fourth description of the project written in its own way.
