markdown-converter/electron-builder.config.js

/**
 * electron-builder configuration (replaces the static package.json "build"
 * section so it can be computed dynamically).
 *
 * Why a JS config: the bundled markitdown binary is OPTIONAL at build time —
 * PyInstaller can only build for the host OS, so e.g. a Windows package
 * built on a machine without bin/win32/markitdown.exe must simply omit it
 * (the app falls back to system-installed markitdown at runtime) instead of
 * failing on a missing extraFiles source.
 *
 * Everything else mirrors the previous static config verbatim.
