With no WoW install found, or a `Data` folder whose archives will not open, benilla booted into a window of textless buttons, since fonts, art and the stock interface all come from the install.
It now ends before any window exists. A native error dialog (`rfd`: AppKit, Win32, `zenity` on Linux) names every folder searched, or the folder and the archive error, and says where to put the install; then it exits 1. An unattended run prints the same text to stderr and exits without a dialog.
1.12.1 ends at a fatal dialog for a present but corrupt base archive (`0x403b6f`) and only logs a missing one (`0x403b00`); ending at no install at all is recorded as a `Deviation:`.
Tests cover both messages and the failing exit; both cases were run live unattended. Built on macOS, Linux and Windows.
