Greptile Summary

This PR adds a standalone Python helper intended to sign and verify Windows executables.

  • Constructs signtool signing and verification commands.
  • Provides a directly executable entry point containing placeholder signing configuration.
  • Does not integrate the helper into the existing Windows release workflow.

Confidence Score: 1/5

This PR is not safe to merge because it does not sign the Windows release artifacts and can report success when signing or verification fails.

The added file is absent from both Windows release paths, its only direct invocation uses placeholders, the supplied certificate path is never used, and both signtool exit statuses are discarded.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
fix_632.py Adds an unintegrated signing prototype that ignores its certificate path and does not propagate signing or verification failures.

P1 Signing is absent from releases

When the existing Windows release jobs build and package artifacts, they never execute this standalone script; its only direct invocation also uses placeholder paths and credentials, causing the published Windows installers to remain unsigned.

P1 Signing failures are silently ignored

When signtool returns a nonzero status because signing or verification fails, both subprocess.run results are discarded without check=True or a return-code check, causing the script to exit successfully with an unsigned or unverifiable artifact.

P1 Configured certificate is never used

When this helper receives the intended PFX certificate and password, the command omits certificate_path and relies on /a, causing signtool to fail or select an unrelated certificate from the certificate store.

Refactor code signing function to use argparse for input parameters and improve error handling. Update command structure for signing and verification.
