Research direction

Start by reproducing clerk init with Clerk 3.3.0 on Windows x64 and inspect the clerk.exe artifact associated with Code Integrity event 3077. Done means the distributed executable is accepted by the reported application-control policy and clerk init no longer fails with spawnSync UNKNOWN.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description
