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.
