## Release notes

Windows updater recovery
Paneflow 0.7.9 fixes a Windows self-update regression introduced in 0.7.7.
Older Windows clients pinned the MSI publisher as O=Strivex, while the signed MSI certificate is O=StriveX. The MSI was valid, but the client rejected it after download and surfaced the misleading "corrupt or tampered" update error.
What changed

Corrected the Windows MSI publisher pin to StriveX.
Added a Windows release smoke check that compares the pinned publisher in Rust with the actual Authenticode subject on the signed MSI.
Changed release publishing so GitHub Releases stay draft-only until every signed asset has been uploaded and verified.

Windows upgrade note
If you are already on Paneflow 0.7.7 or 0.7.8 on Windows and the in-app updater reports a corrupt or tampered download, install 0.7.9 manually from the MSI once. After 0.7.9 is installed, future Windows updates should use the in-app updater normally again.
