+# Installed Windows application validation 10 November 2026
+
+By Jason Stys. This edition documents actual published **0.4.4** installed
+bytes built from `8a533a0b9838b994c18ec0475d91a4f8db1be6fa`. Earlier Office editions retain their
+historical source baselines and byte identities.
+
+## Observed results
+
+All 12 downloaded assets matched provider/sidecar hashes; all 3 archives carried the exact 0.4.4 source manifest. Actual installed runtime is CPython 3.14.10/Electron 44.11.
+
+The full installed registration, WebCrypto unlock, editor, source inspection and 48-category journey passed. Both complete saved revisions also survived a real 0.4.3 to 0.4.4 same-account vault upgrade.
+
+The journey checked vault lock, owned service drain, sealing and actual service and bootloader exit.
+
+422 source tests,2 Windows platform skips and 28 subtests passed, with 85.13 percent coverage at the unchanged 80 percent controller/training floor. Current main/compiler/package/CodeQL workflows passed.
+
+Actual target exits 0, 1, 2, 7, 255 and malformed input 2 were measured; argument rejection, report write failure and timeout were blocked.
+
+## Illustrated workflow and implementation
+
+The [four-page application guide](windows-application-guide-0.4.4.docx) contains actual installed
+application screenshots, prepared inputs used within the full app, operating
+steps and important code excerpts from the immutable runtime source. Every page
+was inspected and the OOXML schema passed validation. The [review manifest](windows-application-guide-0.4.4.json)
+records Word, screenshot, source and rendered-page identities.
+
+## User data and limits
+
+Use the matching versioned Windows installer and its SHA256 sidecar from Releases. The existing per user installation and shortcut are retained; no IntelliJ, system Python or package manager setup is needed to open the app.
+
+Account archives live separately in the OS user application data directory named CodeFlowStudioAccounts. Preserve the complete directory and your private vault phrase before a later upgrade. Login recovery does not imply recovery of a lost encryption phrase.
+
+Local compilation needs a working isolated engine and matching 0.4.4 worker image. Hosted compiler checks passed; Docker on this PC was unchanged.
+
+Measured instrumentation does not mean 100 percent line coverage or proven correctness. Same identity file bindings check consistency and are not tamper proof attestation of a malicious worker target. Unused candidates require developer review.
+
+Unsigned packages trust the local OS and service while unlocked. Synthetic upgrade records matched exactly; normal archives were backed up and checksum-compared without decrypting them.
+
+Desktop and Start-menu target identities were verified where created. A complete
+actual installed executable journey is separate from normal shortcut activation;
+this report does not claim an additional manual shortcut-button test. No Docker
+configuration, real credential or existing account data was used by the synthetic
+acceptance. Prepared scenarios are inputs to the full product, never separate demo
+applications.
+
+This documentation commit must pass its own hosted checks. Earlier runtime results
+do not certify future source changes.
