Pin all release-signing actions to immutable commit SHAs.

The workflow uses mutable tags for actions/download-artifact, azure/login, azure/artifact-signing-action, and actions/upload-artifact. These actions run with Azure OIDC access and can replace release artifacts. A moved or compromised tag can execute unreviewed code or modify signed binaries. Pin all four actions to reviewed full commit SHAs.

### 3. Smoke Test Job (matrix)
### 3. Sign Windows Job

Defined in [`.github/workflows/sign-windows.yml`](../.github/workflows/sign-windows.yml) and called by the release, canary, and snapshot pipelines. Runs on a Windows runner (one job per win32 architecture). Unlike macOS there is no local script -- [`azure/artifact-signing-action`](https://github.com/Azure/artifact-signing-action) owns credential handling and the `signtool` invocation. For each target, the job:

1. Authenticates to Azure via `azure/login` using OIDC federated credentials (no stored client secret)
2. Signs the binary through Azure Artifact Signing (formerly Trusted Signing) with a SHA256 file digest
3. Countersigns with an RFC-3161 timestamp from `http://timestamp.acs.microsoft.com`
4. Verifies the result with `Get-AuthenticodeSignature`, failing if the status is not `Valid` or the signature carries no timestamp
5. Re-uploads the signed binary as a GitHub Actions artifact (overwriting the unsigned one)

Azure Artifact Signing issues **short-lived leaf certificates (~72 hours)**. The RFC-3161 countersignature is what keeps a published binary trusted after the leaf expires, which is why the verify step treats a missing timestamp as a hard failure rather than a warning.

Signing runs on a Windows runner because the signing engine is Windows-only; it cannot be folded into the Linux build job. It also cannot reuse `sign-macos.yml`'s matrix -- the two use entirely different toolchains.

Unsigned Windows binaries are blocked outright on machines running WDAC, Smart App Control, or AppLocker in enforcing mode. The block surfaces to users as `spawnSync ... UNKNOWN` from the npm wrapper shim ([`packages/cli/bin/clerk`](../packages/cli/bin/clerk)) and as Code Integrity event 3077 in the Windows event log.

#### Required Secrets

| Secret | Description |
| ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `AZURE_TENANT_ID` | Entra tenant containing the signing account |
| `AZURE_CLIENT_ID` | App registration with a federated credential trusting this repository, and the `Trusted Signing Certificate Profile Signer` role on the account |
| `AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID` | Subscription containing the Artifact Signing account |
| `AZURE_SIGNING_ENDPOINT` | Regional signing endpoint, e.g. `https://eus.codesigning.azure.net/` |
| `AZURE_SIGNING_ACCOUNT` | Artifact Signing account name |
| `AZURE_SIGNING_CERT_PROFILE` | Certificate profile name within that account |

All six are declared `required: true`, so a release fails fast rather than silently shipping an unsigned `clerk.exe`.

The calling job must grant `id-token: write`; the repository-level default is `contents: read`, so each of the three call sites in `release.yml` sets its own `permissions` block.

**Local testing:** not practical -- signing requires a Windows host plus an Azure identity federated to this repository. Exercise it through a `!snapshot` run instead.

### 4. Smoke Test Job (matrix)

Downloads each compiled binary and runs `--version` to verify the binary actually executes. Smoke testing is handled by a reusable workflow (`.github/workflows/smoke-test.yml`) shared across stable, canary, and snapshot pipelines. Each caller passes a preset name (`stable`, `canary`, or `snapshot`); the reusable workflow resolves the preset to a target matrix internally. glibc targets run natively on a platform-matched GitHub-hosted runner; musl targets run inside an Alpine Docker container on a Linux runner.

Not all targets have a native runner available. `win32-arm64` is published as best-effort -- the build job verifies it is a valid PE32+/Aarch64 binary via `file` output, but no execution-level smoke test runs because there is no GitHub-hosted ARM Windows runner.

Publishing and GitHub Release upload are gated on all smoke tests passing.

### 4. Publish npm Job
### 5. Publish npm Job

Runs the releaser script (`scripts/releaser.ts`) via `bun run release` (stable), `bun run release:canary` (canary), or `bun run release:snapshot` (snapshot):

### 5. Upload GitHub Assets Job
### 6. Upload GitHub Assets Job

Attaches the compiled binaries to the GitHub Release for direct download. Binaries are uploaded with display names following the `clerk-<target>` convention (e.g., `clerk-darwin-arm64`, `clerk-win32-x64.exe`).

### 6. Homebrew Job
### 7. Homebrew Job

Creates `.tar.gz` archives of the 4 Homebrew-relevant binaries (darwin-arm64, darwin-x64, linux-arm64, linux-x64) downloaded directly from Actions artifacts, uploads them to the GitHub Release, computes SHA256 checksums, renders `Formula/clerk.rb`, and pushes the result to `clerk/homebrew-stable`. The push uses the `HOMEBREW_TAP_TOKEN` secret (a fine-grained PAT or GitHub App token with `contents: write` on `clerk/homebrew-stable`).
