- Exclude dead-weight `node_modules` from `app.asar` packaging: all frontend and electron main process modules are already bundled into `dist/` and `dist-electron/` by Vite, saving ~238 MB of redundant files. - Deduplicate assets in `electron-builder.json5`: exclude `wallpapers/`, `cursors/`, and `mediapipe/` from `app.asar` as they are already provisioned via `extraResources` for raw filesystem access by the native compositor, saving ~17 MB. - Exclude documentation assets (`demo.gif`, `preview*.png`) from `app.asar` packaging (~8 MB saved). - Exclude unused `ffmpeg-shared.exe` from Windows `extraResources`. - Restrict `electronLanguages` to the 13 supported locales, removing 42 unneeded Chromium locale `.pak` files (~20 MB saved). - Set `compression: "maximum"` in `electron-builder.json5` to enable solid LZMA2 compression for Windows installers and release archives. - Add `--optimize-for-size` V8 engine flag in `electron/main.ts` to reduce heap footprint across renderer and background processes.

In `@electron-builder.json5`:
- Line 97: Update the MediaPipe path referenced by the packaging configuration
to use resources/mediapipe/ instead of the incorrect app.asar/dist/mediapipe/
location, so THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md points users to the shipped models and
attribution.
In `@electron/main.ts`:
- Line 80: Clarify the scope of the js-flags configuration around
app.commandLine.appendSwitch: do not claim it configures the main-process V8
isolate, and either limit the documentation or PR claim to renderer processes or
arrange for --js-flags to be supplied when launching Electron if main-process
coverage is required.

Summary
This PR reduces application package and installed footprint by eliminating dead-weight dependencies and duplicate assets from packaging, and tunes renderer V8 heap usage:
