Summary

Adds a GET /install.sh endpoint on the backend (embedded via Go's embed package, stays a real shellcheck-able .sh file)
Auto-detects OS/arch (including Termux via $PREFIX) and always resolves the latest GitHub release -- needs no per-release maintenance unlike winget/brew/AUR
Documented alongside winget/Homebrew in README, release notes template, web CLI page, and the per-product CliHandoff card

Test plan

Verified end-to-end in an ephemeral Ubuntu container: downloads, installs, and msdl --help runs
Verified the Termux $PREFIX code path in a second container run
Verified the endpoint locally against a running backend instance (correct Content-Type, correct script content)
Frontend typechecks and builds clean

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added a curl-based installation option for macOS and Linux without Homebrew.

- Added a copy button for the curl installation command.
- Published the installer through a dedicated download endpoint.
Documentation
- Updated installation instructions and release notes with the new option.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a Bash installer for the CLI, embeds and serves it from /install.sh, and documents the no-Homebrew curl installation path in release notes, the README, and the frontend.

Changes

CLI installer delivery

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Installer script and executable format `backend/install.sh`, `.gitattributes`	Adds platform and architecture detection, release-asset download, executable installation, and LF line-ending enforcement.
Embedded installer endpoint `backend/main.go`	Embeds `install.sh`, serves it for GET requests at `/install.sh`, and rejects other methods with HTTP 405.
Release, documentation, and UI guidance `.github/workflows/cli-release.yml`, `README.md`, `frontend/src/pages/CliPage.tsx`, `frontend/src/components/CliHandoff.tsx`	Adds the no-Homebrew curl command to release and documentation surfaces, plus a frontend copy button with temporary success state.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes
