Brandon LiandClaude Opus 5 7e4714c33d Stop PM2's stderr from aborting the autostart installer
`pm2 delete autofirmer` on a machine that has never registered it writes
"[PM2][ERROR] Process or Namespace autofirmer not found" to stderr. PM2 ships a
PowerShell shim, and under $ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop' any native stderr
becomes a terminating NativeCommandError - so the routine "remove it if it is
there" line killed the install before a single task was registered. The 2>$null
at the call site was useless: the error is raised inside pm2.ps1.

Route every pm2 and npm call through helpers that drop to 'Continue' and judge
by $LASTEXITCODE. npm had the same latent problem, since its warnings also go
to stderr.

Also start Next directly instead of via `npm start`. On Windows npm is a .cmd
shim, so PM2 was supervising the shim while the real server ran as its child -
restarts and stops would have missed the process that actually matters.

The file is now pure ASCII. PowerShell 5.1 reads a non-BOM UTF-8 script as
ANSI, so the box-drawing characters in the comments were a latent hazard.

.SYNOPSIS
Register AutoFirmer to start at logon and keep itself updated.
.DESCRIPTION
The only Windows-specific piece of the setup. Everything it schedules is
plain Node, so porting to macOS or Linux means replacing this file alone.
Two scheduled tasks are created, both running as the current user with
LogonType Interactive. That is not incidental: the clicker drives real mouse
and keyboard input and must own a desktop, which a Windows service (session
0) does not have.
Idempotent - re-running replaces the tasks rather than duplicating them.
No elevation required.
.PARAMETER IntervalMinutes
How often to check master for updates. Default 5.
.PARAMETER SkipClicker
Register only the dashboard, leaving the clicker to be run by hand.

<#
PM2 ships a PowerShell shim, and anything it writes to stderr becomes a
NativeCommandError. With $ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop' that is terminating,
so a routine "process not found" from `pm2 delete` aborts the whole install.
Redirecting at the call site does not help: the error is raised inside
pm2.ps1, not here. Drop to Continue for the duration and judge the result by
$LASTEXITCODE instead.
