Local builds are unsigned, named **Capsule** (formerly Capsule Local), and have application ID `com.thetempusproject.capsule.local`. The executable and shortcuts are named Capsule, and installer filenames use `Capsule-${version}-${arch}-Setup.exe`. The internal package name remains `capsule-local` so existing installations retain their identity and data. They store sessions in `%APPDATA%/capsule-local`. Updates are deliberately disabled, and these installers must not be distributed as the public product. Windows may display an unknown-publisher warning.
Public builds use the permanent ID `com.thetempusproject.capsule`, executable `Capsule.exe`, and `%APPDATA%/capsule/session.json`, preserving the original app's session location. Both installers run per user and preserve app data on uninstall. Do not change the public ID, package name, install scope, or data path after shipping without an explicit migration. Windows builds use `build/icon.ico`, which must contain a 256×256 image. A packaged update replaces the application icon without uninstalling; Windows may temporarily retain a cached shortcut or taskbar icon.

Test builds explicitly omit Authenticode verification; they rely on HTTPS, the publisher-controlled test feed, and metadata checksums. This is for trusted testers, not public signed releases. Windows can warn or block unsigned executables. The app labels this mode “Unsigned test channel.” Public release builds still require signing and verify publisher signatures. Normal `dist:win` builds still have updates disabled.
