Module crash 

A GUI binary with panic = "abort" has nowhere to print, so a panic would be a vanished window and an offset into a stripped exe. The hook runs before the abort: it writes where and why into the run log, and tells the user in their language where that is, offering to show the file.

Statics

LOG 🔒

Until the wizard knows the run log’s file; a panic before that goes beside the exe.

QUIET 🔒

Writes the report but shows no window, for --selftest-panic, which has nobody to click.

Functions

be_quiet

fallback 🔒

pacenotes-installer-crash.log next to the exe.

install_panic_hook

log_to

Points later panics at this run’s log file.

record 🔒

Where text was appended, if anywhere; best effort, since failing to write a panic must not become a second one.

tell_the_user 🔒

A plain message and the file to send; the technical line is only shown when there is no file to hold it.
