Installer checklist

• Standalone Inno Setup .exe installer (recognized by winget via InstallerType: inno)
• Not a .ps1, .bat, .sh, .tar, .gz, .7z, or .rar
• Supports silent install (/VERYSILENT /NORESTART /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES) and silent with progress (/SILENT /NORESTART /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES) per the Inno .iss
• Per-user install ({localappdata}\Programs\KIT, PrivilegesRequired=lowest — no UAC for ordinary use)
• In-place upgrade path: stable Inno AppId {A7C3E9D1-4B2F-4E8A-9C1D-8F0E2A6B7C45} so existing installs upgrade cleanly
• Source: public release https://github.com/SPRIC76/KIT (same domain as the public homepage; discoverable by navigating from publisher's website)
• MIT licensed (LICENSE in repo); LicenseUrl points to the live license file
• Signed (Authenticode): pending (K3 in backlog) — currently SmartScreen flags "unknown publisher" on first run; this is the friction gate that deferral noted 2026-08-15 05:07 ET
• Validation: winget validate --manifest returns Manifest validation succeeded. on schema 1.12.0

What I'm following up with

Submitting a PR with manifests at manifests/s/SPRIC76/KIT/1.0.39/ (three files: SPRIC76.KIT.yaml, SPRIC76.KIT.installer.yaml, SPRIC76.KIT.locale.en-US.yaml). The PR will reference this issue and follow the New package: SPRIC76.KIT version 1.0.39 title format.

I've submitted the manifests as PR #420913. All three manifests validate cleanly (winget validate --manifest returns Manifest validation succeeded. on schema 1.12.0), and I've completed a local install test against the Inno Setup installer with the silent switches (Step 08 simulation passes). The PR body has the full checklist. Thanks for the review!
