The native MarkText.exe needs the other files in NativeBoat's output folder, so it no longer gets published on its own.

  • build.yml: the artifact holds only MarkText-<tag>-native-win-x64.zip and SHA256SUMS.txt.
  • release.yml: the notes tell users to extract the whole ZIP and run MarkText.exe from it. When a release is updated, assets that the new build doesn't produce (such as an old .exe) are deleted.
  • README: describes the ZIP-only output. It also removes the sentence from Compare the native build with the Electron build in the README #3 saying the native build "ships as a single .exe that runs on its own", since that isn't true. Restore it if it meant something else.

The executable needs the other files in the output folder, so it is no
longer published on its own. Releases also drop files an earlier build
published that the new build does not.
