/**
 * Dynamic electron-builder config for WINDOWS code signing.
 *
 * Mirrors electron-builder.js (which handles mac.binaries) but for Windows.
 * It wires a signing CLI into electron-builder so that every .exe is signed,
 * with the private key kept in hardware per the post-2023 code-signing rules.
 *
 * A SINGLE sign hook (win.signtoolOptions.sign) covers everything: electron-
 * builder calls it for EVERY .exe it processes, which includes the app
 * launcher, the packaged PyInstaller backend (extraResources/backend/
 * cowagent-backend.exe) and the NSIS installer. We deliberately do NOT add an
 * afterPack pass — that would sign the backend a second time and waste a paid
 * signing call on every release.
 *
 * PRIVACY: the CLI path and all credentials come from env vars only. Nothing in
 * this file (or the public workflow) is hardcoded, so a public repo never leaks
 * any signing configuration.
 *
 * DRY-RUN / SKIP: when SIGNTOOL_CERT_CODE is absent we skip signing entirely
 * (unsigned dev/dry builds keep working). When COW_SIGN_DRY_RUN=1 we pass
 * --dry-run so the WHOLE pipeline can be validated in CI with a self-signed
 * cert, WITHOUT a real certificate and WITHOUT consuming any signing quota.
