A complete, reproducible Windows 11 native path from bare machine to GLM-5.2 tokens with the GPU tier - every step and failure mode hit and verified on the #306 box (285K / RTX 5080 / 128GB). Includes the Smart App Control section discussed in #306 ('on the list for the Windows docs') and a quick failure index. Should close #198 - the walkthrough covers each stumbling point reported there. Happy to fold any part into README.md instead if a separate docs page isn't the preferred shape.

Could you or some other contributor possibly work on an installable binary?

… on Windows)

dev tracks both docs/WINDOWS.md (JustVugg#329 walkthrough, 100 lines, canonical)
and docs/windows.md (older 90-line version). On case-insensitive Windows
FS these collide to a single on-disk file, leaving the index perpetually
dirty and blocking any rebase/checkout from Windows. JustVugg#329's WINDOWS.md
is the newer, PR-merged doc — keep it, drop the stale duplicate.

docs/WINDOWS.md (the #329 install walkthrough) and docs/windows.md (the concise
reference from the README restructure) differ only in case. On case-insensitive
filesystems — every default Windows and macOS checkout — the two paths collide:
the working tree can never be clean, and `git rebase`/`git status` refuse to
run. @KingIcyCreamProjects reported it.

Everything links to the lowercase docs/windows.md (README.md, README.zh-TW.md,
docs/cuda.md), so that is the canonical name. This keeps it and folds in both
contents: the step-by-step walkthrough (download-first, Smart App Control, CUDA
DLL, first run, reference numbers, failure index) followed by the build-flags
reference (AVX-VNNI, warmup). docs/WINDOWS.md is removed. No links change.
