[Bug]: windows cli

[daruoktab]

What happened?

Hi HelixDB team! 👋
I'm trying to get started with HelixDB on Windows but running into some issues:

The helix update command tries to install Linux/macOS binaries on Windows (shows "Unsupported system: MINGW64_NT")
The helix demo command fails with "The system cannot find the file specified" and suggests running sh http://call.sh but the file doesn't exist

I'm using the Windows binary (helix-cli-windows-amd64.exe) renamed to helix.exe. Could you provide proper Windows setup instructions or fix the Windows compatibility issues?
Thanks! 🙏

Steps to reproduce

Environment

OS: Windows 10/11 with Git Bash/MINGW64
Helix CLI Version: v1.0.109

Setup Steps

Download helix-cli-windows-amd64.exe from the releases page
Rename it to helix.exe
