🔐 Code Signing Configuration

Status: ✅ Fully Configured

Your repository is configured for free, automated Windows code signing via SignPath.io:

Configuration Details

Provider: SignPath.io (free for open source)
Workflow: .github/workflows/build.yml
Target: dist/PrismValidator/PrismValidator.exe
Trigger: Git tags (e.g., v1.0.0)
Cost: $0 (100% free forever for OSS)

Required Secrets (Setup Needed)

⚠️ To enable signing, add these to GitHub repository secrets:

SIGNPATH_API_TOKEN - Your SignPath API token
SIGNPATH_ORGANIZATION_ID - Your SignPath organization ID

How to Get Secrets

Apply at: https://about.signpath.io/product/open-source
Approval takes 1-2 business days
You’ll receive organization ID and API token
Add them to: Repository → Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions

What Gets Signed

✅ PrismValidator.exe - Main executable
✅ Valid certificate chain to trusted root CA
✅ Timestamp (signature valid after cert expires)
✅ No Windows SmartScreen warnings
✅ IT department approval ready

Graceful Fallback

If secrets aren’t configured:

✅ Build still succeeds
✅ Unsigned executable created
✅ No errors or failures
⚠️ Users may see SmartScreen warnings

🎓 Key Learnings

Windows-Specific Challenges Addressed

Case-Insensitive Filesystem: NTFS doesn’t distinguish Sub-01 from sub-01
Path Separators: Windows uses \, but PRISM normalizes to /
Reserved Names: Files can’t be named CON, PRN, AUX, etc.
Long Paths: Traditional 260-char limit (solvable with modern Windows)
Line Endings: CRLF (\r\n) vs LF (\n) handled automatically
System Files: Thumbs.db, Desktop.ini must be filtered
Code Signing: Required for IT department trust

Solutions Implemented

✅ cross_platform.py - Unified path handling
✅ system_files.py - Cross-platform file filtering
✅ UTF-8 encoding forced in test files
✅ Comprehensive validation for Windows filenames
✅ Automated code signing via SignPath.io
✅ Extensive test coverage (55 tests)
