docs(site): refine download page layout and copy

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -16,6 +16,7 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0
 
 ### Changed
 
+- Download page (`site/download.html`): centered OS picker, clearer prerequisites table, tighter install steps, condensed trust section.
 - README header uses `site/gitdock-logo-removebg-preview.png` (transparent logo for GitHub light and dark themes).
 - `server.js` imports validation helpers from `lib/` (behavior preserved; easier to test).
 - Account name validation now rejects names that require stripping unsafe characters (e.g. `bad name!`, `work;rm`).

+## Summary
+
+Improves the gitdock.dev download page layout and copy: clearer prerequisites, shorter install flow, centered platform buttons, no redundant Node.js row.
+
+## What changed
+
+- **Download card:** OS buttons (Windows / macOS / Linux) centered
+- **Before you start:** moved above install steps; 3-row table (Git, `gh`, SSH); standalone zip note (no Node.js)
+- **How to install:** 4 steps per OS; first-run workspace + Add Account only (no repeat of prerequisites)
+- **OS warnings:** shorter SmartScreen / Gatekeeper text
+- **Why it's safe:** 3 bullets (open source + CI builds, localhost, no tracking)
+- Hero clarifies **no GitDock signup** (GitHub setup stays in-app)
+
+## Release
+
+**No GitHub Release or version bump.** Site-only change (redeploy `site/` when you publish the site).
+
+## Test plan
+
+- [x] Open `site/download.html` locally and switch OS tabs
+- [ ] After deploy: spot-check https://www.gitdock.dev/download.html
