  Strict archive and source-provenance verification passed. The native
  Windows host was unavailable, so pre8 network, launcher, and wallet
  lifecycle tests have not been repeated for this exact archive.

Windows x64 graphical wallet
  SHA-256: 8ac7f4d1cdf6c920beec1198f2441efc7021b2930b404938e1a15067b1cb7bcc
  Contains the static graphical wallet, matching pre8 daemon, command-line
  tools, start-wallet-gui.bat, provenance manifests, and whitepaper. The GUI
  was built from GUI commit e207630859d5709986af0752259a86e8a4c6c185
  against core commit 6ea49557542cfa45883adb3af229775159738e45.
  PE structure, Windows system imports, and internal checksums passed. Native
  Windows startup and wallet lifecycle testing remains pending because the
  Windows test host was unavailable.

HIGHLIGHTS

- Adds the Monzero whitepaper to the source, website, and binary packages.
- Corrects node, wallet, and mining launchers and removes personal paths and
  fixed priority-node IPs.
- Corrects the 120-second emission fee fallback bound.
- Rejects malicious or oversized tar and ZIP structures before extraction.
- Makes binary packaging fail closed on source-version mismatch.
- Aligns generated emission, overflow, RingCT, Bulletproof, Bulletproof+,
  and CLSAG fixtures with Monzero's actual economics.

LIMITATIONS

Packages and metadata are unsigned. Independent binary reproduction and an
independent security/consensus audit have not been completed. The public
network has limited independent infrastructure and hash power. Windows may
show an unknown-publisher warning. The asset prototype remains inactive.
Never reuse a Monero or other CryptoNote seed, keys, wallet, or data directory
with Monzero.

Verify the adjacent .sha256 files and each archive's internal manifest before
use. See WHITEPAPER.md, RELEASE_NOTES.md, RELEASE_STATUS.md, and UPGRADE.md.
