Research direction

Start by reading build.yml to reproduce the existing distribution build, then inspect the repository's workflow conventions. Create a manual workflow on a branch with a Linux build job and a windows-latest scan job using the specified Defender commands. Done means the workflow records Defender status, scan results, and threat detections without signing, secrets, or release wiring.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Before testers install the beta, measure what Microsoft Defender says about the release artifact on real Windows. VirusTotal reported 0/71 for a local build's BugSplat64.dll (sha256 78ef8638590a…); this is a baseline.

A manual workflow on a branch (not main, not wired into the release, nothing signed): a Linux job builds the dist zip exactly as build.yml does (no secrets, so no keys embedded) and a windows-latest job records Get-MpComputerStatus, runs MpCmdRun.exe -Scan -ScanType 3 -File <unzipped dir> -DisableRemediation (0 clean, 2 found) and prints Get-MpThreatDetection.
