Signed-cert install (future)¶
Once the project ships releases signed with a commercial OV or EV code-signing certificate (Sectigo, DigiCert, SSL.com, …), this page will document the trusted-publisher install flow — no manual .cer import, no TrustedPublisher store edits.
How the flow will look¶

No cert import, because the signature chains to a Microsoft-trusted Certificate Authority already shipped with Windows.
Why not yet?¶
- An OV code-signing cert runs roughly US$300–600/year.
- An EV cert (skips SmartScreen reputation build-up) runs US$600–1200/year and requires a hardware token.
- The project wants to validate traction before taking on that annual cost.

Today¶
For v0.1.0 use Self-signed cert install. The only extra step is a one-time Import-Certificate to populate LocalMachine\Root and LocalMachine\TrustedPublisher.
