Subject: [PATCH] fix: create runtime-donor snapshot whenever manifest is
 missing

When the installer reused an existing vanilla directory (the common case on reinstall and upgrade), freshExtract was false and skipDownload was false, so the snapshot-creation branch was never entered. Only a warning was emitted. prepare-runtime-donors.ps1 then threw 'Required runtime-donor input not found: runtime-donor-manifest.sha256' because the snapshot had never been written.

Remove the skipDownload guard so the snapshot is created whenever the manifest is absent, regardless of how the vanilla directory was obtained.
