Lane 17: Plan deferred Windows distribution surface #17

@mdheller

Description

@mdheller

Track Windows distribution without distracting from the current Linux/macOS priority.

Scope:

  • Define Windows package targets: WinGet, MSIX, Chocolatey, and Microsoft Store as later promotion channels.
  • Preserve BearBrowser product identity: app name, app id, icon, installer metadata, and no upstream product branding.
  • Define signing requirements for Windows packages.
  • Keep this lane deferred until Linux and macOS primary distribution lanes are further along.

Initial packaging order:

  1. WinGet / installer metadata
  2. MSIX
  3. Chocolatey
  4. Microsoft Store

Acceptance criteria for activation:

  • Linux first-class packaging lane is no longer scaffold-only.
  • macOS signed/notarized app path is working.
  • Windows package plan includes signing, app identity, uninstall behavior, and update path.
