Windows distribution is not production-ready until signed MSI/NSIS installers are validated on real Windows systems. Existing workflows contain packaging and MSI smoke plumbing, but current CI runs are blocked and native Windows 10/11 QA is still required.
Checklist:
- Configure the Windows Authenticode signing command/secret.
- Build MSI and NSIS after GitHub Actions is unblocked.
- Verify
Get-AuthenticodeSignature for MSI, NSIS, and signed sidecars where applicable.
- Install, launch, and uninstall MSI on clean Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems.
- Install, launch, and uninstall NSIS on clean Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems.
- Verify first-run behavior without Node, Rust, Python, npm, or repo files installed.
- Capture SmartScreen behavior for the signed installer.
