Describe the enhancement you want to request

Hey! Really cool project — I’m testing the Windows desktop release and ran into an issue on managed Windows machines.

The current Windows .exe isn’t Authenticode-signed, so Microsoft Defender / ASR blocks it and ends up quarantining or deleting it (even if temporarily allowed). The .exe.sig is great for integrity, but unfortunately Windows doesn’t use GPG signatures for trust.

Any chance of:

a code-signed Windows installer (.exe or .msi), or

a portable ZIP build for Windows?

Either would make it much easier to run in enterprise / Intune-managed environments. Happy to test if helpful!
