Treat CRLF and LF as equivalent when checking committed text artifacts so Windows package lifecycles do not report false drift.
When real generated content changes, retain the existing artifact's line-ending convention and cover both check and update behavior with a focused regression test.
Add a hosted Windows x64 lane for named host capabilities, portable provider tests, and packed CLI/MCP verification. Add a default-branch-only repository-dispatch workflow for a controlled self-hosted Ghidra 12.1.2 runner, backed by a deterministic source-owned native PE fixture and a verifier that exercises all 18 admitted operations, target digest linkage, authenticated loopback transport, and complete runtime cleanup.
Invoke analyzeHeadless.bat through an absolute cmd.exe with fixed interpreter switches, quoted arguments, delayed expansion disabled, and fail-closed metacharacter and length checks. Isolate Windows home and temporary coordinates, hide provider windows, and terminate the P0 launcher tree through bounded taskkill cleanup. Advertise explicit limitations that this preview does not provide Job Object ownership, DACL enforcement, reparse-point authority, or hostile-target safety.
Keep private Unix sockets on supported POSIX hosts and add a Windows P0 transport that binds the Java bridge to IPv4 loopback on an ephemeral port. Publish only a strict, token-free endpoint record through an atomic rename, validate it before connecting, and retain the same authenticated request protocol, bounded queue, handshake, cancellation, and shutdown semantics across both transports.
Copy each selected target into the ephemeral Ghidra runtime and reject the snapshot unless its SHA-256 matches the provider-neutral target identity. Advance the Java bridge protocol to v4, require Ghidra's imported executable digest to match again, and include that digest in the authenticated session handshake and diagnostics. Preserve bounded streaming hashes and remove mismatched snapshots before launch.
Recognize the official Windows analyzeHeadless.bat launcher and java.exe/javac.exe layout while retaining the exact Ghidra 12.1.2, JDK 21, x64 admission contract. Build paths and PATH delimiters from the inspected host platform so deterministic Linux tests can exercise Windows coordinates without weakening discovery checks.
Admit only native x86-64 PE applications when the Ghidra candidate runs on Windows while preserving the existing Linux format matrix. Add precise rejection codes for executable roles and managed targets, publish a machine-readable Windows capability report, and keep missing no-follow, ACL, Unix-socket, and PTY controls as independent observations rather than inferred support.
Parse PE optional-header commitments before provider selection and expose provider-neutral executable role and managed-code observations. Hash targets through the same open file handle used for classification so later provider snapshots can reject path replacement by digest. Cover native applications, DLLs, managed images, malformed directory declarations, and delayed PE headers while preserving managed-provider behavior.
