GitHub Actions npm cache can serve stale cached node_modules that don't include properly extracted binaries from app-builder-bin. This causes electron-builder to fail with ENOENT errors when it can't find the app-builder binary. This fix adds a verification step after npm ci for all four platforms: - Linux: checks linux/x64/app-builder - Windows: checks win/x64/app-builder.exe - macOS Intel: checks mac/app-builder - macOS ARM: checks mac/app-builder If the binary is missing, the step reinstalls app-builder-bin with --force to ensure proper extraction, then sets execute permissions. Root cause: The move to npm workspaces (d5ef0c0) combined with the change to workspace-level npm install (91f3a11) caused GitHub Actions cache to serve incomplete cached dependencies without the binary files.
