Description

Remove the Windows mpv shortcut's dependency on a pre-existing mpv profile so the installer-created SubMiner mpv flow works out of the box without requiring the user to edit mpv.conf. Keep docs aligned with the new behavior and preserve the optional profile guidance for manual mpv usage.

Acceptance Criteria

  • #1 SubMiner.exe --launch-mpv launches mpv with SubMiner's required default args without requiring an mpv profile named subminer.
  • #2 Windows shortcut/help/docs no longer describe --launch-mpv as depending on the SubMiner mpv profile.
  • #3 Automated tests cover the Windows launch args behavior and pass after the change.

Final Summary

Updated the Windows --launch-mpv path to pass SubMiner's default mpv args directly instead of requiring --profile=subminer. Adjusted Windows shortcut/help text to describe the self-contained defaults-based launch, and updated Windows docs to state that mpv.conf is not required for the shortcut path while preserving the optional profile guidance for manual mpv launches.
