Local Dev b554994c01 Ariadne 9ab725be: default installer to -Mode nrpt (surgical)
Change the Inno [Run] entry from
  install.ps1 -Mode full   ->   install.ps1 -Mode nrpt

Rationale (observed today on the operator's machine): Full mode repoints
adapter DNS at 127.0.0.1, so every DNS query goes through the daemon's
forwarder. bnsd.js's raw-dgram forwarder has a known EDNS/AAAA bug --
strict clients using getaddrinfo (Chrome, Yandex, Firefox, Node) reject
some forwarded replies with "non-recoverable error". Concretely today,
github.com / duckduckgo.com / www.coinex.com all failed in Yandex while
silentmode.bch loaded fine.

Surgical (NRPT) mode routes only activated BCNR TLDs to the daemon
(fetched from tlds.bch at install time -- currently bch, p2p, deviant,
nav, sia, dgb, nt, sm, lm). Everything else stays on the adapter's DHCP
DNS, sidestepping the forwarder bug entirely. Users still get the
"resolves any BCNR TLD in every browser" promise for the entire on-chain
activated set.

Full mode remains available for anyone who explicitly opts in by running
install.ps1 -Mode full themselves. Default flips back once the forwarder
bug is repaired (memory: silentmode-build-state.md).

- SHA-256: 9ab725bec5567625e5857a49b112c4fbc0f59dbdd623abd7110429306f5d0ddb
- Deployed to dl.silentmode.st, site pages + manifest updated, Sia
  mirror re-uploaded. Coordinates with a parallel-session build that
  briefly landed cb9e8ea0 in the site references without a matching
  binary; resolved to my build since only its bytes exist locally.
