Make the Windows build installable with winget install SBDevelopment.Medley.

Decisions

Identifier: SBDevelopment.Medley, moniker medley, license MIT.
Installer: NSIS .exe from the official release. InstallerType: nullsoft, Scope: user (Tauri default per-user, no installMode change), silent switch /S.
InstallerUrl: public Forgejo release asset + SHA256.
Builds: official v* releases only. Never unofficial-v* (librespot build, legal review pending, #90).
Signing: out of scope. Installer stays unsigned; expect SmartScreen warnings and possibly slower winget review. Separate ticket for signing.
Updater: keep the in-app Tauri updater alongside winget upgrade; NSIS upgrades in place. Revisit if version drift causes problems.

Tasks

Verify the Forgejo Windows release asset URL is publicly downloadable without auth and stable per version.
Create the first manifest with wingetcreate new and submit the PR to microsoft/winget-pkgs (needs the owner's GitHub account).
Add a WINGET_PAT secret and a step in .github/workflows/desktop.yml that runs wingetcreate update SBDevelopment.Medley --urls <asset> --version <v> --submit after the Windows asset is uploaded, official v* tags only.
Document the winget flow and secret in docs/development.md (Releasing section).

Acceptance

winget install SBDevelopment.Medley installs the current official release silently per-user.
A new v* tag results in an automatic winget-pkgs PR.
unofficial-v* tags never trigger it.

Make the Windows build installable with `winget install SBDevelopment.Medley`. ## Decisions - **Identifier:** `SBDevelopment.Medley`, moniker `medley`, license MIT. - **Installer:** NSIS `.exe` from the official release. `InstallerType: nullsoft`, `Scope: user` (Tauri default per-user, no installMode change), silent switch `/S`. - **InstallerUrl:** public Forgejo release asset + SHA256. - **Builds:** official `v*` releases only. Never `unofficial-v*` (librespot build, legal review pending, #90). - **Signing:** out of scope. Installer stays unsigned; expect SmartScreen warnings and possibly slower winget review. Separate ticket for signing. - **Updater:** keep the in-app Tauri updater alongside `winget upgrade`; NSIS upgrades in place. Revisit if version drift causes problems. ## Tasks - [x] Verify the Forgejo Windows release asset URL is publicly downloadable without auth and stable per version. - [x] Create the first manifest with `wingetcreate new` and submit the PR to `microsoft/winget-pkgs` (needs the owner's GitHub account). - [x] Add a `WINGET_PAT` secret and a step in `.github/workflows/desktop.yml` that runs `wingetcreate update SBDevelopment.Medley --urls <asset> --version <v> --submit` after the Windows asset is uploaded, official `v*` tags only. - [ ] Document the winget flow and secret in `docs/development.md` (Releasing section). ## Acceptance - `winget install SBDevelopment.Medley` installs the current official release silently per-user. - A new `v*` tag results in an automatic winget-pkgs PR. - `unofficial-v*` tags never trigger it.
