Two cooperating bugs we hit in production caused a Pillow version mismatch error on in-place upgrades. Documenting both so future projects do not reproduce them. - Section 4.3: removed the "delete .py, keep .pyc" snippet (no compileall step ever ran, so the dist shipped with no .py and no .pyc — every package's submodules were unimportable). Added a warning box and the correct compileall -b pattern. - Section 6: NSIS Core section now shows explicit RMDir /r of payload dirs before File /r. NSIS File /r is a merge, not a replace, so upgrades produce half-old/half-new site-packages. - Section 14: new troubleshooting entry "Pillow / package version mismatch on upgrade" with the symptom, both root causes, and a file-state table showing how the mismatch arises.
