This build is not code-signed

Windows SmartScreen will show a warning. Windows 11 with Smart App Control turned on will refuse to run the files. Test in a virtual machine or on a computer where that is acceptable. We will sign releases once a certificate is in place.

Verify what you downloaded

Compare the SHA-256 of each file against SHA256SUMS.txt. Releases published through our workflow also carry a cosign bundle per file; the signature proves the file came from this repository's release workflow and was not altered afterwards.
