Package the Windows client as a signed MSIX (Start tile, clean install/uninstall) and publish it to
Gitea's generic registry, mirroring the host's .deb/.rpm and the Mac's DMG. Validated end-to-end on
the build VM: cargo build --release -> makeappx pack (16 payload files, 58 MB) -> signtool ->
Add-AppxPackage deploy -> framework-dependency resolution all green.

- packaging/AppxManifest.xml: full-trust Win32 app (Windows.FullTrustApplication + runFullTrust),
  templated {VERSION}/{PUBLISHER}. windows-reactor packages cleanly despite being built "unpackaged"
  because it calls MddBootstrapInitialize2 with OnPackageIdentity_NOOP — under MSIX identity the
  bootstrapper no-ops and the App SDK resolves from the manifest's PackageDependency on
  Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.2 (reactor pins MAJORMINOR 0x20000 = 2.0).
- packaging/pack-msix.ps1: assemble layout (exe + reactor/SDL3 auto-staged DLLs + resources.pri +
  FFmpeg DLLs + tile assets), makeappx, signtool. Cert precedence: MSIX_CERT_PFX_B64 secret, else an
  ephemeral self-signed cert whose .cer is published alongside (swap in a real cert later, no
  manifest change).
- assets: tile/store logos rasterized from packaging/flatpak/io.unom.Punktfunk.svg.
- .gitea/workflows/windows-msix.yml: runs on the Windows runner on main pushes + win-v* tags +
  dispatch. MSIX version is 4-part numeric — win-vX.Y.Z -> X.Y.Z.0, else 0.2.<run>.0. shell: pwsh +
  CARGO_TARGET_DIR=C:\t like windows.yml.

# Build the punktfunk Windows client as a signed MSIX and publish it to Gitea's generic package
# registry, so Windows boxes can download + install a real package (Start tile, clean
# install/uninstall) instead of a loose exe. Runs on the self-hosted Windows runner (host mode;
# scripts/ci/setup-windows-runner.ps1) — the MSVC/WinUI/FFmpeg toolchain + the Windows SDK's
# makeappx/signtool are baked into the runner's daemon env, same as windows.yml.
#
# Registry (public, unom org): https://git.unom.io/unom/-/packages (generic group)
# Packaging internals: crates/punktfunk-client-windows/packaging/README.md. BOM/MAX_PATH runner
# gotchas baked into the daemon env + windows.yml: see that workflow.
#
# Versioning — MSIX requires a strictly 4-part numeric version (no ~/- suffixes), so:
# win-vX.Y.Z tag -> X.Y.Z.0 (a real Windows-client release; `win-v*` is its own tag namespace,
# kept off the host's `host-v*` and the Apple `v*` to avoid the
# version-shadow class of bug — see deb.yml).
# main push / dispatch -> 0.2.<run_number>.0 (rolling; climbs monotonically by run number).
#
# Signing (packaging/pack-msix.ps1): if the MSIX_CERT_PFX_B64 / MSIX_CERT_PASSWORD Actions secrets
# are set (a real or shared code-signing .pfx whose subject DN == Publisher), the package is signed
# with them. Otherwise an ephemeral self-signed cert is generated and its public .cer is published
# next to the .msix (users import it to Trusted People before install). Drop in a real cert later
# with no workflow change — just add the secrets (+ pass -Publisher if its subject differs).

<!--
MSIX package manifest for the punktfunk Windows client (WinUI 3 via windows-reactor).
This is a TEMPLATE: packaging/pack-msix.ps1 substitutes {VERSION} (4-part numeric, e.g.
0.2.137.0) and {PUBLISHER} (must EXACTLY equal the signing cert's subject DN — default
`CN=unom` for the self-signed CI cert; a real code-signing cert just passes its own subject).
Why this packages cleanly even though the app was built "unpackaged": windows-reactor calls
MddBootstrapInitialize2 with OnPackageIdentity_NOOP (crates/libs/reactor/src/app.rs), so under
MSIX package identity the App SDK bootstrapper is a no-op and the runtime is resolved from the
<PackageDependency> below instead. The framework family + min version mirror what the runner has
installed and what reactor pins (WINDOWSAPPSDK_RELEASE_MAJORMINOR = 0x20000 = 2.0 ->
Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.2).
Full-trust Win32 app (EntryPoint Windows.FullTrustApplication + runFullTrust) — it owns raw D3D11,
Win32 low-level input hooks, WASAPI and SDL3, none of which fit the UWP app container.

# punktfunk Windows client — MSIX packaging
The Windows client ships as a **signed MSIX** so Windows boxes get a real package (Start tile,
clean install/uninstall) instead of a loose exe. CI builds + publishes it from
[`.gitea/workflows/windows-msix.yml`](../../../.gitea/workflows/windows-msix.yml) to Gitea's
**generic** package registry (`https://git.unom.io/unom/-/packages`), on every `main` push that
touches the client and on `win-v*` release tags.
## What's in the package
`pack-msix.ps1` assembles a layout from a `cargo build --release` and runs `makeappx` + `signtool`:
| File | Source |
|---|---|
| `punktfunk-client.exe` | the release build |
| `Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.Bootstrap.dll`, `resources.pri` | auto-staged by windows-reactor's `build.rs` |
| `SDL3.dll` | auto-staged by the `sdl3` crate |
| `avcodec/avformat/avutil/swscale/swresample/...-*.dll` | `FFMPEG_DIR\bin` |
| `Assets\*.png` | checked-in tile/store logos (rasterized from `packaging/flatpak/io.unom.Punktfunk.svg`) |
| `AppxManifest.xml` | the template here, with `{VERSION}`/`{PUBLISHER}` substituted |
### Why an "unpackaged" WinUI app packages cleanly
windows-reactor calls `MddBootstrapInitialize2` with `OnPackageIdentity_NOOP`
(`crates/libs/reactor/src/app.rs`), so under MSIX **package identity** the App SDK bootstrapper is
a no-op and the runtime is resolved from the manifest's `<PackageDependency>` on
`Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.2` instead (reactor pins `WINDOWSAPPSDK_RELEASE_MAJORMINOR = 0x20000`
= 2.0). It's a full-trust Win32 app (`EntryPoint="Windows.FullTrustApplication"` + `runFullTrust`)
because it owns raw D3D11, Win32 low-level input hooks, WASAPI and SDL3.
## Versioning
MSIX requires a strictly 4-part numeric version. The workflow computes:
- `win-vX.Y.Z` tag → `X.Y.Z.0` (a real client release; `win-v*` is its own tag namespace, kept off
the host's `host-v*` and Apple's `v*` to avoid the version-shadow bug).
- `main` push / `workflow_dispatch``0.2.<run_number>.0` (rolling, climbs by run number).
## Signing & install
Signing precedence in `pack-msix.ps1`:
1. **`MSIX_CERT_PFX_B64` / `MSIX_CERT_PASSWORD`** Actions secrets — a real (or shared) code-signing
`.pfx` whose **subject DN must equal `-Publisher`** (default `CN=unom`). Drop these in later to
move off self-signed with **no manifest change**; if the cert's subject differs, pass a matching
`-Publisher` (it's stamped into the manifest `Identity`).
2. otherwise an **ephemeral self-signed** cert (subject = `-Publisher`) is generated and its public
`.cer` is published next to the `.msix`.
To install a self-signed build, trust the cert once, then add the package:
```powershell
Import-Certificate -FilePath .\punktfunk-client-windows_<ver>_x64.cer -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\TrustedPeople
Add-AppxPackage -Path .\punktfunk-client-windows_<ver>_x64.msix
```
The MSIX declares a dependency on the Windows App SDK 2.x runtime; install
[the App SDK runtime](https://aka.ms/windowsappsdk) if `Add-AppxPackage` reports a missing
`Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.2` framework.
## Building locally
On the Windows runner / dev VM (MSVC + Windows SDK present), after a release build:
```powershell
cargo build --release -p punktfunk-client-windows
pwsh -File crates/punktfunk-client-windows/packaging/pack-msix.ps1 `
-Version 0.2.0.0 -TargetDir C:\t\release -OutDir C:\t\msix
```
Validated end-to-end on the build VM (pack → sign → `Add-AppxPackage` → framework-dependency
resolution). The only step that needs a real display is *launching* the WinUI window (same
on-glass constraint as the rest of the client).

.SYNOPSIS
Assemble, pack and sign the punktfunk Windows client as a signed MSIX.
.DESCRIPTION
Builds a packaging layout from a release `cargo build` output (exe + the reactor/SDL3 auto-staged
DLLs + resources.pri + FFmpeg DLLs + the checked-in Assets + the manifest), runs makeappx, and
signs with signtool. Idempotent; safe to re-run.
Signing cert precedence:
1. -PfxBase64 / -PfxPassword (a real or shared code-signing cert, e.g. from CI secrets) — the
cert's subject DN MUST match -Publisher (which is stamped into the manifest Identity).
2. otherwise an EPHEMERAL self-signed code-signing cert with subject = -Publisher is generated
in-process. The package installs only where that cert is trusted, so the matching public
.cer is exported next to the .msix for the user to import (Trusted People) before install.
Swap in a real cert later with zero manifest changes — just pass -PfxBase64/-Publisher.
Run on the Windows runner (or the dev VM) with the MSVC/Windows SDK present.
