Document clean Windows alpha installation verification #14

Description

@HabsaTheDog

Goal: turn the release policy into a reproducible Windows x64 verification checklist for the first alpha.

Scope:

  • use only an artifact produced by the Alpha desktop artifacts workflow;
  • verify SHA256SUMS before installation;
  • record SmartScreen/signature behavior, installer/uninstaller behavior, Study Buddy product identity, dedicated state paths, and loopback-only backend binding;
  • use synthetic data and do not connect a real student account;
  • add the resulting checklist under docs and link it from docs/releasing.md.

Acceptance:

  • another contributor can repeat every step on a clean Windows machine;
  • expected evidence and failure criteria are explicit;
  • no private screenshots, usernames, paths, or credentials are committed.
