The launcher installs and updates PdfCraft with `msiexec /passive` and no properties, so
INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT always took its default of 1 and every update put the shortcut back,
even for users who had deleted it. The property no longer has a static default: a SetProperty
after AppSearch turns it on for a first install, and for an update only while PdfCraft.lnk is
still on the all-users desktop. A value on the command line still wins, and the full-UI
checkbox still starts ticked on a first install.
test-msi.ps1 checks the action runs after AppSearch in both sequences and evaluates its
condition for first installs, updates with and without the shortcut, and
INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT=0.
* M14: "Edit with PdfCraft" on the File Explorer menu of PDF files (#682)
The Windows MSI adds a classic shell verb under
HKLM\Software\Classes\SystemFileAssociations\.pdf\shell\PdfCraft.Edit that
runs "pdfcraft.exe" "%1" with the app's icon. It appears whichever app is
the default for .pdf and never changes that default. On Windows 11 it is
under "Show more options": a first-level entry needs an IExplorerCommand
handler and package identity, which an MSI doesn't have.
MultiSelectModel is Document: several selected PDFs (up to 15) start one
launch each, and the existing single-instance hand-off opens them as tabs
of one window.
The verb has its own component, conditioned on a new secure public
property INSTALLPDFCONTEXTMENU (default 1, a welcome-dialog checkbox,
INSTALLPDFCONTEXTMENU=0 for unattended installs), following
INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT. Its menu value is the key path, so uninstall
removes every value. The portable zip still registers nothing.
test-msi.ps1 checks the compiled Registry, Component, Property and
CheckBox rows, and that the .pdf default is never written. Docs: README,
docs/releasing.md, parity notes, ROADMAP log.

- Cargo.toml: [workspace.package] and the internal path-dependency requirements move to 0.6.0
(they pinned 0.5.0, which `cargo update -w` can't match); Cargo.lock refreshed.
- release.yml: new `linux-riscv64` job, ported from GridCraft. Cross-compiles on ubuntu-24.04
against ports.ubuntu.com riscv64 libs (the linux job's -dev packages, :riscv64), builds the
tar.gz and the CLI-only tar.gz, smoke-tests pdfcraft-cli under QEMU, and is in the draft
release job's needs, so SHA256SUMS covers it.
- packaging/linux/package.sh: CROSS_ARCH / CROSS_TARGET / CROSS_COMPILE / EMULATOR support.
- README and docs/releasing.md list the riscv64 tarballs (glibc 2.39+).
- contributors.json refreshed.

Add packaging/windows/security-audit.ps1, a read-only maintainer helper that records a
release file's SHA-256, Authenticode status and, with an external YARA binary and rule,
every matched string identifier and offset. Document the procedure in docs/releasing.md
("Scanner detections").
No application, dependency, installer or network behaviour changes: the diff touches only
the helper and the release documentation.

Release builds said "Text recognition isn't installed: its models are
missing" because no packaging script or release job fetched the OCR
models: only `cargo xtask models` does, into the source tree.
- packaging/env.sh gains stage_models DEST, which runs
`cargo xtask models DEST` (every ATTRIBUTION.toml kind = "model" file,
SHA-256 verified, with its licence text). No model file is named, so
the models PRs #433/#572 add ship without packaging changes.
- `cargo xtask models` also writes ATTRIBUTION.txt crediting each model
(CC-BY-SA-4.0 requires attribution when redistributed).
- macOS: PdfCraft.app/Contents/Resources/models, before signing.
- Windows: models\ beside pdfcraft.exe in the MSI (WiX v5 <Files>
harvest) and the portable zip; test-msi.ps1 checks the folder.
- Linux deb/rpm/tar.gz/AppImage, Flatpak bundle and FreeBSD tarball:
share/pdfcraft/models beside bin/. Models::search_dirs now also looks
in <exe dir>/../share/pdfcraft/models (Models::dirs_beside_exe); a
test builds every package layout on disk and finds the models in each.
release.yml and freebsd.yml check the packages contain them.
- The missing-models messages no longer tell end users to run cargo,
and the 11 catalogs that keyed an old PRINTCRAFT_MODELS wording (or
the previous one) now key the current English text; ATTRIBUTION
hashes updated. A test checks the translations match.
The web (wasm) build, which the issue reports, still has no models; this
is the desktop half only.

On Linux, pdfcraft-cli shipped only inside the desktop packages (about
55 MB), while macOS already publishes pdfcraft-cli-<v>-macos-universal.zip.
Servers, CI and agent sandboxes only need the headless CLI.
packaging/linux/package.sh gains a `cli` format, on by default, that writes
pdfcraft-cli-<v>-linux-<arch>.tar.gz: the stripped pdfcraft-cli from the
shared staging tree plus the licences/README via copy_docs. copy_docs now
also copies NOTICE (every package benefits). The release job already
uploads and checksums every file in dist/release; its package check now
lists the archive and runs the extracted binary. README and
docs/releasing.md list the new artifact and state the glibc 2.35 baseline.

The DMG opened as a plain Finder window. It now shows the app icon's figure on
the PdfCraft colour, with PdfCraft.app and the Applications link side by side.
Same approach as PhotoCraft's and VectorCraft's.
- packaging/macos/dmg/: background.svg (source; text outlined, no paper grain,
the figure an <image> of assets/app-icon), background.tiff (1x + 2x HiDPI,
16-colour palette, Deflate, sRGB; ~95 KB) and dmg-layout.DS_Store (Finder
view settings: window, icon size 128, positions, background).
- generate.py writes the TIFF and the layout on any OS, byte-for-byte
reproducible, with nothing from the machine that ran it.
- package.sh copies them into the staging folder; the image is still built with
hdiutil makehybrid. Nothing extra runs in the signing job.
- The volume name drops the version: the layout finds the background through
an alias that includes the volume name. The DMG file name keeps the version.

* Issue #157: the Windows portable zip keeps settings, logs and recovery beside pdfcraft.exe
The portable zip had no portable.txt, and the app had no portable mode: it always wrote %APPDATA%\PdfCraft and %LOCALAPPDATA%\PdfCraft. Now portable.txt (or PdfCraft.portable) beside the executable puts the settings, log files, crash recovery and new digital IDs in PdfCraftData next to it, as PhotoCraft does, and the zip ships portable.txt. An unwritable PdfCraftData falls back to the per-user folders and says so.

* Release: Flatpak bundles (x86_64, aarch64), AppImage zsync updates, README Downloads
- AppImages embed gh-releases-zsync update information and ship a .zsync beside them;
the Linux job installs zsync and checks both.
- New flatpak job (x86_64 on ubuntu-24.04, aarch64 on ubuntu-24.04-arm) repackages the
Linux tarball with packaging/linux/flatpak-bundle.sh and the new bundle manifest, then
smoke-tests it in the sandbox. finish-args shared with the Flathub manifest (packaging-lint
checks they match): Wayland/X11, dri, CUPS for printing, Documents and Downloads.
- Only the signing jobs and the draft-release job keep `environment: release`, so a branch
dispatch is a dry run of everything else and can never draft a release.
- README: a Downloads section listing every build; docs/releasing.md updated.

* #143: Windows MSI desktop shortcut checkbox and install-complete dialog
Add native installer dialogs (installer-ui.wxs): a welcome screen with a
"Create a desktop shortcut" checkbox (ticked by default), repair/remove,
progress, and "Setup completed successfully" / failed / cancelled screens
with Finish. Unattended /qn and /qb installs never wait on a dialog and can
skip the desktop shortcut with INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT=0.
Start Menu and desktop shortcuts are now plain links to pdfcraft.exe in
their own components (HKLM key paths, removed on uninstall) instead of
advertised MSI shortcuts.
test-msi.ps1 checks the compiled MSI's shortcut, checkbox and dialog tables
during packaging; the ARM64 install smoke test checks both shortcut
targets, their removal on uninstall, and the INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT=0
opt-out.

* #143: run test-msi out of process before signing; add files-in-use dialog
test-msi.ps1 held the MSI open through a Windows Installer COM handle in
package.ps1's own process, so signtool could fail on signed release builds.
Run it in a child process and release the COM objects.
The hand-authored UI had no MsiRMFilesInUse dialog, so an upgrade or repair
while PdfCraft is running could not offer to close it. Add one (OK closes the
programs with MSIRMSHUTDOWN=2, Cancel stops setup) and check for it in
test-msi.ps1.

The app, crates, binaries, bundle id, packaging, icons, screenshots and docs are now
PdfCraft / pdfcraft (repo storytold/pdfcraft). On first launch the desktop app moves the
PrintCraft settings and crash-recovery folders to the new name, and both apps read settings
saved under the old storage key, so upgrades keep recent files, preferences and unsaved work.
The signing test fixtures keep their PrintCraft subject names (they are binary).

release.yml's comments say "See docs/releasing.md", but the workflow came
over from PhotoCraft without its document. It now describes PrintCraft's
pipeline as it is: cutting a release and test runs, every artifact
(including Windows on ARM64), the craft-fonts pin, each platform's
packaging, signing and notarization, the release-environment secrets,
and the packaging checks.
Written from release.yml and the packaging scripts. It says plainly that
the binaries don't embed the commit yet, and packaging/env.sh no longer
points to a build_info.rs that doesn't exist.
