The pull-request Windows workflows provide that validation.
Release note
This does not make the self-signed package a Stable installer. Without protected production signing and clean-machine evidence, the existing release workflow may create only a blocked Draft Release after
v1.0.0is deliberately tagged.Checklist
winterm.exe, and Microsoft Terminal coexistence remain isolated.
