Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The Windows setup and launch flow can misconfigure user data, consume unbounded memory, start after a failed build, conflict with an existing launcher, or fail on other machines; it also downloads and executes software without independent integrity checks.

In `@REQUIREMENTS.md`:
- Around line 86-92: Update the Ollama setup documentation to match setup.bat’s
actual behavior: remove claims that it installs Ollama, detects RAM, selects a
model, or downloads one by default; document that it checks for an existing
ollama command, uses an already installed model, and accepts an optional /model=
override in the affected setup sections.
In `@setup.bat`:
- Around line 48-49: Update the Node.js discovery checks before NODE_OK to
validate the installed runtime is at least version 24.19.0; if it is too old,
continue to the portable 24.20.0 installation instead of jumping to NODE_OK.
When an incompatible executable was found under %ProgramFiles%, reset NODE_HOME
to the portable location before downloading.
In `@start.bat`:
- Around line 9-12: Update the launcher path setup in start.bat to derive the
application directory from %~dp0 instead of the hard-coded installation path,
and set NODE_HOME to %LOCALAPPDATA%\ControlCenter-Runtime\node before retaining
the existing fallback to %ProgramFiles%\nodejs. Preserve the PATH setup and
portable Node.js lookup behavior.

In `@REQUIREMENTS` (1).md:
- Line 16: Update the disk-space requirement in REQUIREMENTS to document the
additional storage needed by setup.bat for the automatically downloaded local
model: approximately 3.3 GB, 4.7 GB, or 9.0 GB depending on the selected model,
rather than only 500 MB.
In `@setup` (7).bat:
- Around line 169-174: Update both Node commands in the setup flow to resolve
settings.json from CONTROL_CENTER_DATA_DIR when it is set, matching
dataDirectory() behavior, and fall back to the existing LocalAppData Control
Center location otherwise. Apply the same path resolution to the settings write
command and the BOM-cleanup command so both operate on the configured file.
- Line 168: Update the Ollama warm-up request in the curl invocation to remove
the indefinite keep_alive value or replace it with a finite duration, allowing
Ollama’s configured model lifetime to apply and avoiding permanent model
retention.
In `@start` (1).bat:
- Around line 42-45: Update the dashboard build block to check errorlevel
immediately after call "%NODE_HOME%\npm.cmd" run build, and exit with a nonzero
status when the build fails so the script cannot continue to next start.
- Line 28: Remove the unconditional launcher.lock deletion from the startup
flow. Preserve the lock lifecycle managed by scripts/launch.mjs, including its
PID-based validation and cleanup, so a live launcher lock is not removed while
startup is in progress.

Document the automatic model storage requirement.
setup.bat automatically pulls a local model. The selected models require about 3.3 GB, 4.7 GB, or 9.0 GB of additional disk space. A system with only the stated 500 MB available can fail during setup. State these requirements or require opt-in before the download. (ollama.com)

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Use the configured data directory for settings.json.
If CONTROL_CENTER_DATA_DIR is set, dataDirectory() reads settings from that directory. Both Node commands instead write to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Control Center. The application then ignores the configured Ollama provider and model. Resolve the settings path from CONTROL_CENTER_DATA_DIR first in both commands.

What changed
Added Windows-focused setup and launch tooling plus installation requirements documentation.
setup.batprepares the local environment, installs or locates Node.js and Ollama, retrieves the application source, configures a local model, installs dependencies, builds the dashboard when needed, and starts the local server.start.batprovides a repeatable launcher that starts required services, opens the dashboard, and launches the application.User-visible failure mode addressed
Windows users previously lacked a simple, guided way to install prerequisites, configure Ollama, build the dashboard, and start Control Center locally. This change reduces setup to running the provided Windows scripts and provides clearer startup and failure handling.
