v1 created a separate Win32 window — same problem as external Chrome.
v2 creates CEF as a CHILD WINDOW of Kivy's SDL_app window:
- No separate taskbar entry
- No z-order fighting (CEF is INSIDE Kivy)
- No desktop flash
- CEF message loop pumped via Kivy Clock (main thread)
- Resize handler attached so CEF follows Kivy window changes
- build.spec includes cef_browser in hidden imports
Windows-specific fixes:
- _windows_play_weblink: uses --start-maximized + --app=URL for true fullscreen
- Shows black Win32 overlay before opening/closing Chrome to mask desktop
- _windows_kill_process_tree: uses taskkill /F /T to kill all Chrome child processes
- _Win32Overlay class: fullscreen borderless always-on-top black window
- Updated README to note Python 3.12 requirement and local data dir behavior
- New windows/ directory with build scripts, specs, and configuration
- Windows-specific requirements (requirements_win.txt)
- Launch and runtime scripts for Windows (run_win.py, launch_player.bat)
- PyInstaller build configuration (build.spec)
- Updated .gitignore to exclude windows/venv312/
- Updated config and source files for Windows compatibility
- Moved working_files to proper directory
