…lows - Add Windows resource file generation (winres.json and winres.xml) for executable metadata - Generate architecture-specific .syso files (amd64, arm64) using go-winres during CI builds - Implement Windows binary code signing with certificate and timestamp authority - Update version information in resource files to match release version - Add *.syso to .gitignore to exclude generated build artifacts - Apply Windows signing to both beta and production release workflows - Enable proper Windows executable branding and authentication for distributed binaries
- Replace local osslsigncode signing with SignPath GitHub Action for secure code signing - Update beta-release.yml and release.yml workflows with new signing pipeline - Package Windows binaries (amd64 and arm64) into zip archive for SignPath submission - Configure SignPath API integration with organization and project credentials - Add post-signing step to extract and replace binaries from signed artifacts - Change credential detection from WINDOWS_SIGN_CERT/KEY to SIGNPATH_API_TOKEN - Improve security by using dedicated code signing service instead of local certificate handling

Summary
SIGNPATH_API_TOKENsecret — builds still succeed without itContext
Fixes #52 — Windows Defender was quarantining the binary because it had no embedded metadata, no application manifest, and no digital signature. An unsigned, stripped Go binary that writes to the registry Run key looks suspicious to heuristic
scanners.
