Updated installer entrypoints to use stable bootstrap script URLs

Replaced the user-facing desktop install commands in the README, download page, and release docs so they fetch install.sh and install.ps1 directly from the repository instead of GitHub release asset URLs that 404 before a stable release exists. This keeps GitHub Releases as the source of desktop binaries while making the bootstrap script entrypoint consistently reachable for macOS, Linux, and Windows users.

-Install the desktop app directly from GitHub Releases:
+Install the desktop app directly from GitHub Releases once a release has been published.
+
+Important:
+
+1. A successful `main` CI run does not publish install scripts or public release assets.
+2. Public install assets are only published by `.github/workflows/release.yml`.
+3. The bootstrap scripts below are fetched directly from the repository and then resolve the correct release asset automatically.
+4. You still need at least one published GitHub Release for the installer to download a desktop binary.
+5. To publish installable desktop assets, run the release workflow by pushing a version tag like `v1.2.3` or by using the workflow's `workflow_dispatch` input.

 ## Desktop bootstrap installers
 
 - Keep GitHub Releases as the source of truth for desktop binaries.
-- Publish the bootstrap scripts as GitHub Release assets:
-  - `install.sh`
-  - `install.ps1`
 - User-facing install commands:
-  - macOS/Linux: `curl -fsSL https://github.com/youpele52/bigCode/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh`
-  - Windows: `powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "irm https://github.com/youpele52/bigCode/releases/latest/download/install.ps1 | iex"`
+  - macOS/Linux: `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/youpele52/bigCode/main/apps/marketing/public/install.sh | sh`
+  - Windows: `powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/youpele52/bigCode/main/apps/marketing/public/install.ps1 | iex"`
 - Installer behavior:
   - prefer GitHub `releases/latest` when a stable release exists
   - fall back to the general `releases` feed when only prereleases exist
   - select the right asset by OS/arch:
     - macOS `arm64` or `x64` DMG
     - Linux `x64` AppImage
     - Windows `x64` NSIS installer
-- The bootstrap script sources live in `apps/marketing/public/` and the release workflow copies them into `release-assets/` before publishing the GitHub Release.
+- The bootstrap script sources live in `apps/marketing/public/` and are fetched directly from the repository by the user-facing install commands.
 - For the current public repo setup, no GitHub auth token is required for the bootstrap installers.
-- GitHub `releases/latest/download/...` only resolves for the latest non-prerelease release. If you only have prereleases, use a tag-specific release URL until the first stable release exists.
+- The bootstrap script itself resolves the correct GitHub Release asset. If no desktop release exists yet, the script fails with a GitHub Releases error.
