feat: Implement default welcome page for missing web application

- Added a professional HTML welcome page displayed when no web application is configured. - Enhanced `_load_webapp()` method to support improved path resolution for both development and bundled modes. - Updated error handling to show the welcome page instead of a bare error message when the webapp file is not found. - Modified unit tests to verify the welcome page is displayed in error scenarios. build: Complete Windows and macOS build scripts - Created `build_windows.py` for building Windows executable and optional MSI installer using PyInstaller. - Developed `build_macos.sh` for creating macOS application bundle and DMG image. - Added logging and error handling to build scripts for better user feedback. docs: Add build and icon requirements documentation - Created `PHASE_3_BUILD_SUMMARY.md` detailing the build process, results, and next steps. - Added `resources/icons/README.md` outlining icon requirements and creation guidelines. chore: Sync remotes script for repository maintenance - Introduced `sync_remotes.ps1` PowerShell script to fetch updates from origin and upstream remotes.

+    Select-Object Name, @{N='SizeMB';E={[math]::Round($_.Length/1MB,2)}}
+# Result: WebDropBridge.exe (195.66 MB)
+
+# Execution test
+PS> .\build\dist\windows\WebDropBridge.exe --version
+# Exit code: 0 ✅
+```
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+### Immediate (Phase 3 Continuation)
+
+1. **Test Windows Executable Functionality**
+   ```bash
+   # Run the application
+   .\build\dist\windows\WebDropBridge.exe
+   
+   # Verify:
+   # - Main window opens
+   # - Web view loads
+   # - Settings accessible
+   # - Drag-and-drop works
+   ```
+
+2. **macOS Build Testing** (requires macOS machine)
+   ```bash
+   bash build/scripts/build_macos.sh
+   # Should create: build/dist/macos/WebDropBridge.dmg
+   ```
+
+3. **Optional: Create MSI Installer**
+   ```bash
+   # Install WiX Toolset first
+   python build/scripts/build_windows.py --msi
+   # Output: WebDropBridge-Setup.exe
+   ```
+
+### Deferred Tasks
+
+4. **GitHub Actions CI/CD Pipeline** (`.github/workflows/build.yml`)
+   - Automated Windows builds on release tag
+   - macOS builds on release tag
+   - Checksum generation
+   - Upload to releases
+
+5. **Code Signing & Notarization**
+   - Windows: Requires code signing certificate
+   - macOS: Requires Apple Developer ID and notarization credentials
+
+---
+
+## Configuration Files Added
+
+### For Windows Builds
+```python
+# build/scripts/build_windows.py
+class WindowsBuilder:
+    def __init__(self, project_root: Path):
+        self.project_root = project_root
+        self.build_dir = project_root / "build"
+        ...
+```
+
+### For macOS Builds
+```bash
+# build/scripts/build_macos.sh
+PROJECT_ROOT="$(dirname "$(dirname "$( cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")" && pwd )")")"
+APP_NAME="WebDropBridge"
+DMG_NAME="WebDropBridge.dmg"
+```
+
+### PyInstaller Configuration
+```python
+# build/webdrop_bridge.spec
+SPECPATH = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(spec_file))
+project_root = os.path.dirname(SPECPATH)
+
+a = Analysis(
+    [os.path.join(project_root, 'src/webdrop_bridge/main.py')],
+    ...
+    datas=[
+        (os.path.join(project_root, 'webapp'), 'webapp'),
+        (os.path.join(project_root, 'resources'), 'resources'),
+    ],
+)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Technical Decisions & Rationale
+
+### 1. PyInstaller Spec File (Not CLI Arguments)
+- **Decision**: Use .spec file instead of CLI args
+- **Rationale**: Better cross-platform compatibility, easier to maintain, supports complex bundling
+- **Result**: Unified spec works for both Windows and macOS
+
+### 2. Separate Build Scripts (Windows Python, macOS Bash)
+- **Decision**: Python for Windows, Bash for macOS
+- **Rationale**: Windows Python is most portable, macOS scripts integrate better with shell tools
+- **Result**: Platform-native experience, easier CI/CD integration
+
+### 3. Large Executable Size (195.66 MB)
+- **Expected**: Yes, includes:
+  - Python runtime (~50 MB)
+  - PySide6/Qt6 libraries (~80 MB)
+  - Embedded Chromium browser (~50 MB)
+  - Application code and resources (~15 MB)
+- **Mitigation**: Users get single-file download, no external dependencies
+
+### 4. Cross-Platform Data File Bundling
+- **Decision**: Include webapp/ and resources/ in executables
+- **Rationale**: Self-contained distribution, no external file dependencies
+- **Result**: Users can place executable anywhere, always works
+
+---
+
+## Known Limitations & Future Work
+
+### Windows
+- [ ] MSI installer requires WiX Toolset installation on build machine
+- [ ] Code signing requires code signing certificate
+- [ ] No automatic updater yet (Phase 4.1)
+
+### macOS
+- [ ] build_macos.sh script is implemented but untested (no macOS machine in workflow)
+- [ ] Code signing requires macOS machine and certificate
+- [ ] Notarization requires Apple Developer account
+- [ ] Professional DMG requires create-dmg tool installation
+
+### General
+- [ ] CI/CD pipeline not yet implemented
+- [ ] Auto-update system not yet implemented (Phase 4.1)
+- [ ] Icon files not yet created (resources/icons/app.ico, app.icns)
+
+---
+
+## How to Use These Build Scripts
+
+### Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Windows only - build executable
+cd "c:\Development\VS Code Projects\webdrop_bridge"
+python build/scripts/build_windows.py
+
+# Windows - create MSI (requires WiX)
+python build/scripts/build_windows.py --msi
+
+# macOS only - create .app and DMG
+bash build/scripts/build_macos.sh
+
+# macOS - with code signing
+bash build/scripts/build_macos.sh --sign
+```
+
+### Output Locations
+
+Windows:
+- Executable: `build/dist/windows/WebDropBridge.exe`
+- MSI: `build/dist/windows/WebDropBridge-Setup.exe` (if --msi used)
+
+macOS:
+- App Bundle: `build/dist/macos/WebDropBridge.app`
+- DMG: `build/dist/macos/WebDropBridge.dmg`
+
+---
+
+## Environment Setup
+
+### Windows Build Machine
+```powershell
+# Install PyInstaller (already in requirements-dev.txt)
+pip install pyinstaller
+
+# Optional: Install WiX for MSI creation
+# Download from: https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix3/releases
+# Or: choco install wixtoolset
+```
+
+### macOS Build Machine
+```bash
+# PyInstaller is in requirements-dev.txt
+pip install pyinstaller
+
+# Optional: Install create-dmg for professional DMG
+brew install create-dmg
+
+# For code signing and notarization:
+# - macOS Developer Certificate (in Keychain)
+# - Apple ID + app-specific password
+# - Team ID
+```
+
+---
+
+## Version: 1.0.0
+
+**Build Date**: January 2026  
+**Built With**: PyInstaller 6.18.0, PySide6 6.10.1, Python 3.13.11

+# WebApp Loading - Issue & Fix Summary
+
+## Problem
+
+When running the Windows executable, the embedded web view displayed:
+
+```
+Error
+Web application file not found: C:\Development\VS Code Projects\webdrop_bridge\file:\webapp\index.html
+```
+
+### Root Causes
+
+1. **Path Resolution Issue**: When the app runs from a bundled executable (PyInstaller), the default webapp path `file:///./webapp/index.html` is resolved relative to the current working directory, not relative to the executable location.
+
+2. **No Fallback UI**: When the webapp file wasn't found, users saw a bare error page instead of a helpful welcome/status page.
+
+## Solution
+
+### 1. Improved Path Resolution (main_window.py)
+
+Enhanced `_load_webapp()` method to:
+- First try the configured path as-is
+- If not found, try relative to the application package root
+- Handle both development mode and PyInstaller bundled mode
+- Work with `file://` URLs and relative paths
+
+```python
+def _load_webapp(self) -> None:
+    if not file_path.exists():
+        # Try relative to application package root
+        # This handles both development and bundled (PyInstaller) modes
+        app_root = Path(__file__).parent.parent.parent.parent
+        relative_path = app_root / webapp_url.lstrip("file:///").lstrip("./")
+        
+        if relative_path.exists():
+            file_path = relative_path
+```
+
+### 2. Beautiful Default Welcome Page
+
+Created `DEFAULT_WELCOME_PAGE` constant with professional UI including:
+- **Status message**: Shows when no web app is configured
+- **Application info**: Name, version, description
+- **Key features**: Drag-drop, validation, cross-platform support
+- **Configuration guide**: Instructions to set up custom webapp
+- **Professional styling**: Gradient background, clean layout, accessibility
+
+### 3. Updated Error Handling
+
+When webapp file is not found, the app now:
+- Shows the welcome page instead of a bare error message
+- Provides clear instructions on how to configure a web app
+- Displays the version number
+- Gives users a professional first impression
+
+## Files Modified
+
+### `src/webdrop_bridge/ui/main_window.py`
+- Added `DEFAULT_WELCOME_PAGE` HTML constant with professional styling
+- Enhanced `_load_webapp()` method with multi-path resolution
+- Added welcome page as fallback for missing/error conditions
+
+### `tests/unit/test_main_window.py`
+- Renamed test: `test_load_nonexistent_file_shows_error` → `test_load_nonexistent_file_shows_welcome_page`
+- Updated assertions to verify welcome page is shown instead of error
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Development Mode
+```
+User runs: python -m webdrop_bridge
+Config: WEBAPP_URL=file:///./webapp/index.html
+Resolution: C:\...\webdrop_bridge\webapp\index.html
+Result: ✅ Loads local webapp from source
+```
+
+### Bundled Executable (PyInstaller)
+```
+User runs: WebDropBridge.exe
+PyInstaller unpacks to: _internal/webapp/
+Resolution logic:
+  1. Try: C:\current\working\dir\webapp\index.html (fails)
+  2. Try: C:\path\to\executable\webapp\index.html (succeeds!)
+Result: ✅ Loads bundled webapp from PyInstaller bundle
+```
+
+### No Webapp Configured
+```
+User runs: WebDropBridge.exe
+No WEBAPP_URL or file not found
+Display: Beautiful welcome page with instructions
+Result: ✅ Professional fallback instead of error
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+All 99 tests pass:
+- ✅ 99 passed in 2.26s
+- ✅ Coverage: 84%
+
+## User Experience
+
+Before:
+```
+Error
+Web application file not found: C:\...\file:\webapp\index.html
+```
+
+After:
+```
+🌉 WebDrop Bridge
+Professional Web-to-File Drag-and-Drop Bridge
+
+✓ Application Ready
+No web application is currently configured.
+Configure WEBAPP_URL in your .env file to load your custom application.
+
+[Features list]
+[Configuration instructions]
+[Version info]
+```
+
+## Configuration for Users
+
+To use a custom web app:
+
+```bash
+# Create .env file in application directory
+WEBAPP_URL=file:///path/to/your/app.html
+# Or use remote URL
+WEBAPP_URL=http://localhost:3000
+```
+
+## Technical Notes
+
+- CSS selectors escaped with double braces `{{ }}` for `.format()` compatibility
+- Works with both relative paths (`./webapp/`) and absolute paths
+- Handles `file://` URLs and raw file paths
+- Graceful fallback when webapp is missing
+- Professional welcome page generates on-the-fly from template
+
+## Version
+
+- **Date Fixed**: January 28, 2026
+- **Executable Built**: ✅ WebDropBridge.exe (195.7 MB)
+- **Tests**: ✅ 99/99 passing
+- **Coverage**: ✅ 84%

+# Icon Files for WebDrop Bridge
+
+This directory should contain application icon files for the build process.
+
+## Required Icons
+
+### Windows
+- **app.ico** - 256x256 or larger, ICO format
+  - Used by PyInstaller and Windows installer
+  - Can contain multiple resolutions (16, 32, 48, 64, 128, 256)
+
+### macOS
+- **app.icns** - Apple icon set
+  - Required for macOS .app bundle
+  - Must include at least: 16, 32, 48, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024px sizes
+  - Tools: `iconutil` on macOS, or `png2icns`
+
+## Creating Icons
+
+### From PNG on macOS:
+```bash
+png2icns resources/icons/app.icns resources/icons/app-1024.png
+```
+
+### From Multiple PNGs on macOS:
+```bash
+mkdir app.iconset
+# Add PNG files: 16x16, 32x32, 64x64, 128x128, 256x256, 512x512, 1024x1024
+iconutil -c icns app.iconset -o resources/icons/app.icns
+```
+
+### Creating ICO from PNG on Windows:
+- Use tools like: ImageMagick, GIMP, or online converters
+- Ensure high quality for professional appearance
+
+## Current Status
+
+⚠️ Icon files are currently missing.
+- The build scripts will work without them (PyInstaller uses default icon)
+- Replace these files before distribution for professional appearance
+
+## Design Guidelines
+
+- Use consistent branding/color scheme
+- Ensure visibility at small sizes (16x16)
+- Include transparency for professional look
+- Test on both light and dark backgrounds (macOS)
