8 8.10 Installer & Distribution draft

Epic 8 — Windows App (Rust + iced)

Goal: Fast, lightweight native Windows app -- single .exe, no runtime dependencies.

Story 8.10: Installer & Distribution

As a Windows user, I want professional installation and distribution options, So that I can install CalcPad through my preferred method with confidence in its authenticity.

Acceptance Criteria:

Given the release build is complete When the .msi installer is generated via WiX Then it installs CalcPad to %ProgramFiles%\CalcPad\, creates Start Menu shortcuts, registers the .calcpad file association, and sets up the uninstaller

Given the installer is built When the .msi is signed Then it has a valid Authenticode signature so Windows SmartScreen does not block it

Given the user prefers winget When the user runs winget install calcpad Then CalcPad is installed from the winget repository using the published manifest

Given the user wants a portable version When they download the .zip distribution Then the zip contains calcpad.exe, portable.marker, and a data/ directory And the user can run it immediately without installation

Given the release binary is built When its file size is measured Then the .exe is under 15 MB (including the statically linked engine)

Given the installer is run When installation completes Then no runtime dependencies are required (no .NET, no MSVC runtime, no WebView2) -- CalcPad runs standalone
