-# Windows builds with the toolchains contributors use, not just the MSVC one releases use: build
-# the desktop app and the CLI with MSVC, with GNU (mingw-w64 from MSYS2, the setup CONTRIBUTING.md
-# describes), and with GNU linked by Rust's bundled LLD plus the mingw-w64 import libraries its
-# self-contained sysroot lacks (#1886), then run each binary with `--version`. Both packages build
-# in one `cargo build`, the way people build them, so features unify and the CLI links everything
-# the desktop app pulls in.

-# Nightly on main (a dependency update is what brings in a new system library), and on PRs that
