Prepare Azure Trusted Signing for Windows releases by Lougarou · Pull Request #2208 · kurrent-io/kcap

Lougarou · 2026-10-31T01:07:20Z

Refs #1391 (AI-3609). Part of #2091 (AI-4694).

What & why

The CLI and desktop release workflows sign Windows binaries with Azure Trusted Signing when the AZURE_TRUSTED_SIGNING_* variables and the windows-signing environment exist, and skip signing otherwise.

Where to look

Inert until Azure Trusted Signing is configured; RELEASING.md has the setup.

Verification

This branch alone on main: dotnet build Capacitor.slnx with code style enforced, no errors.
Prepare Azure Trusted Signing for Windows releases #2208 to Fix desktop history, windows, accessibility and local-server recovery #2214, split from one tested branch, merge into main in either order without conflicts; merged, they are the tree whose Windows 11 unit suites (Models.Transcripts 286/0, Service 62/0, Core 5,748/22, Daemon 4,783/17, Cli 7,962/13, App 5,671/8, failures all environment-only and also failing on main here) and AOT publish (no IL2026/IL3050) were run.
CI runs every suite on this branch alone.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Release Improvements
- Eligible Windows CLI and desktop releases published from version tags are digitally signed using Azure Trusted Signing. Signatures are verified for the released applications and installer.
- Windows releases that do not meet the signing conditions remain unsigned. Signing requires the configured Azure settings; missing or invalid settings cause eligible releases to fail.
- The existing macOS signing and notarization flow remains unchanged.

Walkthrough

The CLI and desktop release workflows add conditional Azure Trusted Signing for Windows. New scripts validate signing configuration and verify signatures. The release guide documents Azure setup, release gating, signed artifacts, and verification checks.

Changes: Windows signing workflows

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Signing gates and configuration `.github/workflows/cli-build.yml`, `.github/workflows/desktop.yml`, `scripts/trusted-signing-config.sh`, `RELEASING.md`	Windows signing is enabled for qualifying version-tag pushes when an Azure account or profile is configured. The script validates required values and can write signing metadata. The release guide describes setup and gating.
CLI artifact signing and verification `.github/workflows/cli-build.yml`, `scripts/verify-windows-signatures.sh`, `scripts/verify-windows-signatures.test.sh`	Eligible builds sign the daemon before calculating its digest, then sign the CLI and service after publishing. The workflow verifies all three signatures. Tests cover publisher, timestamp, signature, EKU, and missing-file checks.
Desktop packaging and verification `.github/workflows/desktop.yml`	Eligible releases configure Trusted Signing for packaging and verify the installer and installed executables. Other Windows release builds emit an unsigned-build warning.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 9598d

A new signing profile cannot be configured using the release guide alone. Document the first-profile EKU retrieval command before merging.

Document how to obtain the first profile EKU.

A new or recreated profile may have no signed file to inspect. Both release workflows require this EKU before they sign anything, so the documented setup cannot complete. Document how to retrieve the EKU from Azure or sign a bootstrap file separately. (learn.microsoft.com)
