Research direction
Investigate the Windows build process for Browsh, likely in the repository's build scripts or CI configuration. Reproduce the crash on Windows 10 64 bit and capture any error messages or logs. Look for existing installer scripts (e.g., in a build/ directory) and check for issues with Go cross compilation or packaging. Review the 4 comments for any additional clues or attempted fixes.
