-- Run `bun run test` or `bun run test:fast` for the default fast lane: config/core coverage plus representative entry/runtime, Anki integration, and main runtime checks.
-- Run `bun run test:full` for the maintained test surface: Bun-compatible `src/**` coverage, Bun-compatible launcher unit coverage, and the maintained dist compatibility slice for `ipc`, `anki-jimaku-ipc`, `overlay-manager`, `config-validation`, `startup-config`, and runtime registry coverage.
-- Run `bun run test:node:compat` directly when you only need that dist compatibility slice. The command name is legacy; it now runs under Bun.
-- Run `bun run test:env` for environment-specific verification: launcher smoke/plugin checks plus the SQLite-backed immersion tracker lane.
-- Run `bun run test:immersion:sqlite` when you specifically need the dist SQLite persistence coverage.
-- Run `bun run test:subtitle` for the maintained `alass`/`ffsubsync` subtitle surface.

-The Bun-managed discovery lanes intentionally exclude a small set of suites from the source-file discovery pass and keep them in the maintained dist compatibility slice instead: Electron-focused tests in `src/core/services/ipc.test.ts`, `src/core/services/anki-jimaku-ipc.test.ts`, and `src/core/services/overlay-manager.test.ts`, plus runtime/config tests in `src/main/config-validation.test.ts`, `src/main/runtime/startup-config.test.ts`, and `src/main/runtime/registry.test.ts`. `bun run test:node:compat` keeps those suites in the standard workflow instead of leaving them untracked.

+## Description
+
+<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
+The Windows release workflow currently relies on the default SignPath artifact configuration configured in the SignPath UI. Pin the workflow to an explicit artifact-configuration slug so the checked-in signing configuration and CI behavior stay deterministic across future SignPath project changes.
+<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+<!-- AC:BEGIN -->
+- [ ] #1 The Windows release workflow validates a dedicated SignPath artifact-configuration secret/input.
+- [ ] #2 Every SignPath submission attempt passes `artifact-configuration-slug`.
+- [ ] #3 Regression coverage fails if the explicit SignPath artifact-configuration binding is removed.
+<!-- AC:END -->
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+<!-- SECTION:PLAN:BEGIN -->
+1. Add a failing workflow regression test for the explicit SignPath artifact-configuration slug.
+2. Patch the Windows signing secret validation and SignPath action inputs to require the slug.
+3. Run targeted release-workflow verification plus the standard fast lane.
+4. Cut a new patch release so the tag-triggered release workflow runs with the pinned SignPath configuration.
+<!-- SECTION:PLAN:END -->
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+<!-- SECTION:NOTES:BEGIN -->
+Added regression coverage in `src/release-workflow.test.ts` for an explicit SignPath artifact-configuration slug so the release workflow test now fails if the slug validation or action input is removed.
+
+Patched `.github/workflows/release.yml` so Windows signing now requires `SIGNPATH_ARTIFACT_CONFIGURATION_SLUG` during secret validation and passes `artifact-configuration-slug: ${{ secrets.SIGNPATH_ARTIFACT_CONFIGURATION_SLUG }}` on every SignPath submission attempt.
+
+Verification: `bun test src/release-workflow.test.ts`, `bun run typecheck`, `bun run test:fast`.
+<!-- SECTION:NOTES:END -->
+
+## Final Summary
+
+<!-- SECTION:FINAL_SUMMARY:BEGIN -->
+The release workflow is now pinned to an explicit SignPath artifact configuration instead of relying on whichever SignPath artifact config is marked default in the UI. Windows signing secret validation fails fast if `SIGNPATH_ARTIFACT_CONFIGURATION_SLUG` is missing, and every SignPath submission attempt now includes the pinned slug.

+Validation: `bun test src/release-workflow.test.ts`, `bun run typecheck`, `bun run test:fast`.

+
+Added `scripts/build-win-unsigned.mjs` plus the `build:win:unsigned` package script. The wrapper clears Windows code-signing environment variables and disables identity auto-discovery before invoking `electron-builder`, so release CI stays unsigned even if signing credentials are configured elsewhere.

+# Unsigned Windows Release Builds Implementation Plan
+
+> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
+
+**Goal:** Publish unsigned Windows release artifacts in GitHub Actions while adding an explicit local `build:win:unsigned` script.
+
+**Architecture:** Keep Windows packaging on `electron-builder`, but stop the release workflow from routing artifacts through SignPath. The Windows release job will build unsigned artifacts and upload them directly under the existing `windows` artifact name so the downstream release job stays stable. Local developer behavior remains unchanged except for a new explicit unsigned build script.
+
+**Tech Stack:** GitHub Actions, Bun, Electron Builder, Node test runner
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: Track the workflow contract change
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `backlog/tasks/task-138 - Publish-unsigned-Windows-release-artifacts-and-add-local-unsigned-build-script.md`
+- Create: `changes/unsigned-windows-release-builds.md`
+
+**Step 1: Write the backlog task + changelog fragment**
+
+Document the scope: unsigned Windows release CI, new local unsigned script, no SignPath dependency.
+
+**Step 2: Review file formatting**
+
+Run: `sed -n '1,220p' backlog/tasks/task-138\ -\ Publish-unsigned-Windows-release-artifacts-and-add-local-unsigned-build-script.md && sed -n '1,80p' changes/unsigned-windows-release-builds.md`
+Expected: task metadata matches existing backlog files; changelog fragment matches `changes/README.md` format.
+
+### Task 2: Write failing workflow regression tests
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/release-workflow.test.ts`
+
+**Step 1: Write the failing test**
+
+Replace SignPath-specific workflow assertions with assertions for:
+- unsigned Windows artifacts built via `bun run build:win:unsigned`
+- direct `windows` artifact upload from `release/*.exe` and `release/*.zip`
+- no SignPath action references
+- package scripts include `build:win:unsigned`
+
+**Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `bun test src/release-workflow.test.ts`
+Expected: FAIL because the current workflow still validates SignPath secrets and submits signing requests.
+
+### Task 3: Patch package scripts and release workflow
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `package.json`
+- Modify: `.github/workflows/release.yml`
+
+**Step 1: Write minimal implementation**
+
+- add `build:win:unsigned` that clears Windows signing env and disables auto discovery before invoking `electron-builder --win nsis zip --publish never`
+- change the Windows release job to remove SignPath secret validation/submission
+- build Windows artifacts with `bun run build:win:unsigned`
+- upload `release/*.exe` and `release/*.zip` directly as `windows`
+
+**Step 2: Run tests to verify they pass**
+
+Run: `bun test src/release-workflow.test.ts`
+Expected: PASS
+
+### Task 4: Run focused verification
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: none
+
+**Step 1: Run focused checks**
+
+Run: `bun test src/release-workflow.test.ts && bun run typecheck`
+Expected: all green
+
+**Step 2: Spot-check diff**
+
+Run: `git --no-pager diff -- .github/workflows/release.yml package.json src/release-workflow.test.ts changes/unsigned-windows-release-builds.md backlog/tasks/task-138\ -\ Publish-unsigned-Windows-release-artifacts-and-add-local-unsigned-build-script.md docs/plans/2026-03-09-unsigned-windows-release-builds.md`
+Expected: only scoped unsigned-Windows workflow/script/docs changes

 ## Highlights
 ### Changed
-- Launcher: Removed the YouTube subtitle generation mode switch so YouTube playback always preloads subtitles before mpv starts.
+- Release: Publish unsigned Windows `.exe` and `.zip` artifacts directly from release CI instead of routing them through SignPath.
-
+- Release: Added `bun run build:win:unsigned` for explicit local unsigned Windows packaging.
-### Fixed
-- Launcher: Hardened YouTube AI subtitle fixing so fenced SRT output and text-only one-cue-per-block responses can still be applied without losing original cue timing.
-- Launcher: Skipped AniSkip lookup during URL playback and YouTube subtitle-preload playback, limiting AniSkip to local file targets where it can actually resolve anime metadata.
-- Launcher: Keep the background SubMiner process running after a launcher-managed mpv session exits so the next mpv instance can reconnect without restarting the app.
-- Launcher: Reuse prior tokenization readiness after the background app is already warm so reopening a video does not pause again waiting for duplicate warmup completion.
-- Windows: Acquire the app single-instance lock earlier so Windows overlay/video launches reuse the running background SubMiner process instead of booting a second full app and repeating startup warmups.
