Research direction
Start in apps/desktop by reproducing the Files view behavior on Windows 11 with root-level setup.sh and setup.ps1 files, then trace the code that filters or lists repository files. Compare those names with anything.sh and SETUP1.sh. Done means both setup files appear in the Files view while the existing file-display behavior remains intact.
