WSL on the host builds the 3 configs in parallel in ~103s (= one
config) — the parallel design is correct. The 4-vCPU CI VM ran 3x
make -j on 4 cores -> oversubscription thrash -> ~3x slower. Not
structural / not RAM. Bump guest-cpu to 8 (job.py patches the clone
VMX numvcpus); host is 10c/20t, this matrix is 2 VMs.

job.py already patches the clone VMX (numvcpus/memsize) via
--guest-cpu/--guest-memory-mb; expose them as action inputs
(default '0' = keep template). build-ns7zip.yml sets
guest-memory-mb: 8192 — the parallel MinGW cross-compile thrashes at
the 4 GB Linux template default (Windows template is 6 GB).

A bare `if: github.ref_type == 'tag'` on a needs-dependent job can
leave `release` stuck in "blocked" instead of skipped for
workflow_dispatch runs on Gitea. Use the explicit
${{ github.event_name == 'push' && github.ref_type == 'tag' }} form.

- SshTransport.run_streaming: incremental channel recv, forwards
stdout/stderr live (no more one-block-at-end). _linux_build uses it
with PYTHONUNBUFFERED so the guest python flushes promptly.
- _tail_lines split out for failure messages (no double print).
- Windows live streaming deferred (TODO 8.2) — pypsrp execute_ps
returns only at completion.
- build-ns7zip.yml: use-git-clone:'true' (in-guest), repo-url ->
https://gitea.emulab.it/... (guest-reachable; host SSH alias was
host-only). Requires GiteaPAT in the LocalSystem keyring or a public
nsis-plugin-ns7zip.

ns7zip now supports --dist (commit 57133b7 on nsis-plugin-ns7zip):
DLLs land in <repo>/dist/<config>. Build with `python build_plugin.py
--dist` and collect artifact-source 'dist'.

Linux template provides `python`, so the OS-aware split is
unnecessary. Use `python build_plugin.py` for both matrix legs.

build_plugin.py is a dispatcher: it auto-detects host/toolset and
forwards extra args to the per-version script, which rejected
--final/--dist-dir. Both the Windows (legacy 2601_vs2026) and Linux
build scripts copy nsis7z.dll into <repo>/plugins/{x86-ansi,
x86-unicode,amd64-unicode}, not dist.
- build-command: just `python build_plugin.py` (python3 on Linux —
Ubuntu 24.04 has no `python`).
- artifact-source: 'plugins' (fixes the "dist missing" failure too).

Workflow now targets Simone/nsis-plugin-ns7zip. Renamed the file and
the workflow `name:`, and updated all references in active docs
(plans/archived and docs/archived left as frozen history).
