Bring the checklist app under version control

The project has lived only as a folder on the Mac Studio and, briefly, as a
transfer tarball. This is the first commit: the Express server and its web
front end, the Capacitor iOS and Android wrappers, and the release and backup
scripts.

The repo is the source, not a backup of the machine. Left out on purpose, by
the .gitignore files that were already in the tree: node_modules, build output,
mobile/www (regenerated from server/public on every build), and server/data,
which holds the live checklists and belongs on the NAS rather than in git.

Every credential is excluded too — server/.env, the Play upload keystore and
its properties file, the App Store Connect key and ios-signing.config. The one
secret that was not in an ignored file was the NAS SSH password, hard-coded in
build-deploy.sh and grepped back out of it by backup-to-drive.sh. Both now read
it from the login keychain (service checklist-nas, account Christian), falling
back to NAS_PASS in the environment, so rotating it is one keychain entry
rather than a history rewrite.

# Building Instructions
## Quick Start
1. **Install Dependencies**
```bash
npm install
```
2. **Test the Application**
```bash
npm start
```
This will launch the app in development mode.
3. **Build Windows Installer**
```bash
npm run build:win
```
This will create a Windows installer in the `dist` folder.
## Building for Distribution
After running `npm run build:win`, you'll find:
- An installer executable in the `dist` folder (e.g., `Recurring Checklist Setup 1.0.0.exe`)
- This installer can be copied to any Windows machine and run to install the application
## Notes
- The first build may take several minutes as it downloads Electron binaries
- Each Windows machine will have its own independent checklist data
- The app stores data locally using electron-store
- No internet connection required after installation
## Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues building:
1. Make sure Node.js is installed (version 14 or higher recommended)
2. Try deleting `node_modules` and running `npm install` again
3. On Windows, you may need to install build tools: `npm install --global windows-build-tools`
