Dev: Redox OS install & update platforms (manual vs automatic)

Redox OS is a Unix-like microkernel OS written in Rust. Its running-system package tool is pkg (from pkgutils), which installs cryptographically verified pkgar binary packages from a Redox package server. cookbook holds build recipes and redox_installer builds/writes the system image. pkg is user-invoked; there is no background auto-updater.

No — Node.js/Electron are not available on Redox; the WeKan desktop cannot run.
