Tracking doc (docs/windows-code-signing.md) for Authenticode / SmartScreen code signing — deferred until revenue justifies the annual cost.

Covers:

  • The two-signings distinction (updater minisign = already done, don't touch; Authenticode = this doc)
  • Why it changed post-June-2023 (private keys must live on FIPS hardware → cloud HSM for CI)
  • Options + rough cost: Azure Trusted Signing ($120/yr), OV via cloud HSM ($200–400), EV (~$300–700)
  • Tauri bundle.windows (signCommand/certificateThumbprint + timestamp) + CI wiring steps
  • Verification (signtool verify /pa /v) and a checklist

No code/behavior change — documentation only.

Tracking doc for Authenticode/SmartScreen code signing, deferred until
revenue justifies the annual cert cost. Covers the options (Azure Trusted
Signing / OV / EV via cloud HSM), the post-2023 hardware-key requirement,
Tauri + CI wiring steps, and an explicit note not to confuse this with the
existing minisign updater signing.
