WarpEngine Client: the whole catalog, and a build that can point elsewhere
ci/woodpecker/push/woodpecker Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/tag/woodpecker Pipeline was successful

**The app is called WarpEngine Client.** "Store" named the thing it opens rather than the
thing you run, and the store is a catalog on a site, not a window on your machine. The
window title, the bundle, the packages and the menu entry follow; the repository already
did. The store being driven is named in the side menu, so the bar stopped repeating it as
a badge — the element stays in the page, hidden, because the window check reads it.

**Every title is listed, including the ones this machine cannot install.** They arrive
from the engine with `installable: false` and a reason, and they are drawn dimmed, with an
*unsupported platform* or *no build for this machine* badge, the engine's own sentence
underneath, and nothing to press: a disabled Install would invite a click that can never
work. They get a category of their own — *Not for this machine* — and they are kept out of
the native/hosted categories and counts, because a title with no build has no mode to be
counted under. An engine older than desktop 1.2.0 is unaffected: a missing `installable`
field reads as installable, which is what those engines mean.

**A build can be pointed at another site's registry:**

    make dist STORES_API=https://games.example.org/api/stores

BuildConfiguration reads the packaged package.json, where electron-builder's
extraMetadata writes that address, so a client for somebody else's catalog needs no source
change and nothing set on the user's machine. Precedence is runtime environment, then
build, then ours — three audiences, most specific first.

Also: the scrollbars are the window's own, because the platform's light track down the
side menu of a dark window looked like a mistake.
