-# Agent Instructions For This Repository
+# Agent Instructions For MrTrust
 
-This file is for Codex agents working on the Codex Agent Repository Kit itself. The public `README.md` is for humans and should stay focused on setup and usage.
+MrTrust manages explicit Windows certificate trust for MrSphay software.
 
-## Start Of Task
+## Security Boundaries
 
-- Check `git status --short`.
-- If the working tree is clean, run `git pull --ff-only` before editing.
-- If local changes exist, preserve them and do not overwrite user work.
-- Conserve context tokens: use `rg`, targeted file reads, and short summaries instead of loading unrelated files or long logs.
+- Do not add Defender, SmartScreen, UAC, firewall, or policy bypasses.
+- Do not add silent certificate installation.
+- Do not commit `.pfx`, private keys, passwords, tokens, or signing secrets.
+- Default to `CurrentUser` certificate stores. Use `LocalMachine` only when the user explicitly chooses all-user trust.
+- Keep all user-facing trust actions reversible.
 
-## Repository Purpose
+## Repository Layout
 
-This repository ships reusable baseline files for other repositories:
-
-- `files/` contains templates copied into target repositories.
-- `agent-quickstart.md`, `new-repository.md`, and `existing-project.md` are agent workflows.
-- `manifest.json` is the source of truth for copy targets and placeholders.
-- `profiles/` contains stack-specific guidance.
-
-## Editing Rules
-
-- Keep repository owner, repository name, project names, and local paths dynamic. This kit intentionally targets `https://git.wilkensxl.de` and SSH port `2222`, so keep that host/port consistent in user-facing setup and Gitea workflow defaults.
-- If a new placeholder is introduced, update `manifest.json`, the README placeholder list, and placeholder scans in workflow templates.
-- Keep `README.md` user-facing. Put agent operating rules in this file or the workflow docs.
-- Keep `files/AGENTS.md` generic; it is copied into target repositories and must not describe this repository specifically.
-- Do not include secrets, tokens, private data, or sensitive logs in docs, issues, commits, or release notes.
-
-## Follow-up Work
-
-- Create focused tracker issues for real follow-up work that is outside the current scope or can be done independently.
-- Do not create issues for work that can be safely completed in the current task.
-- If issue creation is unavailable, update `docs/agent-handoff.md` with the blocker and next steps.
+- `scripts/` contains the PowerShell implementation.
+- `assets/certificates/` contains public certificates only.
+- `private/` is ignored and may contain local signing material.
+- `docs/integration-prompt.md` is the prompt for adding MrTrust to other projects.
+- `docs/security-model.md` documents the intended behavior and limits.
+- `MrTrust.ps1 gui` is the user-facing GUI entry point.
 
 ## Verification
 
-Before committing:
+Before finishing changes, run:
 
 ```powershell
-Get-Content manifest.json | ConvertFrom-Json | Out-Null
-Get-Content manifest.schema.json | ConvertFrom-Json | Out-Null
-Get-Content files\blueprint.json | ConvertFrom-Json | Out-Null
+$scripts = Get-ChildItem .\scripts -Filter *.ps1
+foreach ($script in $scripts) {
+  $tokens = $null
+  $errors = $null
+  [System.Management.Automation.Language.Parser]::ParseFile($script.FullName, [ref]$tokens, [ref]$errors) | Out-Null
+  if ($errors) { throw $errors }
+}
 git diff --check
 ```
-
-Also verify:
-
-- every `manifest.json` copyMap source exists,
-- every profile path exists,
-- reusable files contain no private instance defaults such as a specific username or private host,
-- `README.md` documents every placeholder listed in `manifest.json`.
-
-## Release
-
-- Bump `manifest.json` version.
-- Update `CHANGELOG.md`.
-- Commit changes.
-- Create an annotated tag such as `v1.0.2`.
-- Push `main` and tags.
-- Create or update the Gitea release when a valid API token is available.

-# Codex Agent Repository Kit
+# MrTrust
 
-Reusable setup kit for new or existing repositories that should be easy for Codex agents, humans, and CI workflows to maintain.
+MrTrust is a small Windows trust-onboarding kit for MrSphay software.
 
-This README is for humans. Agent-facing rules live in `AGENTS.md`, `agent-quickstart.md`, `new-repository.md`, and `existing-project.md`.
+It is designed for this workflow:
 
-<p align="center"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andreasbm/readme/master/assets/lines/rainbow.png" alt="-----------------------------------------------------" width="100%"></p>
+1. MrSphay creates a private code-signing certificate once.
+2. MrSphay publishes only the public trust certificate with MrTrust.
+3. A user runs MrTrust once and explicitly approves installing that public certificate.
+4. MrSphay projects signed with the matching certificate chain are shown as trusted on that PC.
 
-## What This Kit Adds
+MrTrust does not bypass Microsoft Defender or SmartScreen. Windows can still scan, quarantine, or warn about suspicious files. This project only manages normal Windows certificate trust with visible user consent.
 
-- `AGENTS.md` and `.codex/project.md` for agent context.
-- Optional Gitea workflows for build, security scan, cleanup, dependency check, release dry run, and template compliance.
-- Release, security, handoff, changelog, and contribution templates.
-- README blueprint templates for projects that want generated README output.
-- Stack notes for Node, Electron, Python, Docker, and static-site projects.
+## What It Contains
 
-<p align="center"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andreasbm/readme/master/assets/lines/rainbow.png" alt="-----------------------------------------------------" width="100%"></p>
+- `MrTrust.ps1 gui` opens a simple Windows interface for installing or removing trust.
+- `scripts/New-MrTrustCertificate.ps1` creates a local root certificate and a code-signing certificate for the publisher.
+- `scripts/Install-MrTrust.ps1` installs the public trust certificate for the current user or the local machine.
+- `scripts/Uninstall-MrTrust.ps1` removes the MrTrust certificate again.
+- `scripts/Sign-MrTrustProject.ps1` signs `.exe`, `.msi`, `.ps1`, and other Authenticode-compatible files.
+- `scripts/New-MrTrustRelease.ps1` builds a distributable ZIP package.
+- `docs/integration-prompt.md` is a prompt you can paste into other Windows projects.
 
-## Recommended New Repository Setup
+## Quick Start For MrSphay
 
-1. Create the repository in Gitea.
-2. Clone it locally with SSH.
-3. Copy this kit into the repository with Codex or manually from `files/`.
-4. Replace placeholders with real project values.
-5. Add repository secrets for CI publishing.
-6. Commit and push the baseline.
-7. Let the Gitea workflows report any missing setup.
-
-<p align="center"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andreasbm/readme/master/assets/lines/rainbow.png" alt="-----------------------------------------------------" width="100%"></p>
-
-## SSH Setup
-
-Generate a key if you do not already have one:
+Create the certificates:
 
 ```powershell
-ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "you@example.com"
+.\scripts\New-MrTrustCertificate.ps1
 ```
 
-Start the SSH agent and add the key:
+This writes:
+
+- public certificates to `assets\certificates\`
+- private signing material to `private\`
+
+The `private\` directory is ignored by git. Do not publish `.pfx` files or passwords.
+
+Install the public trust certificate on your own PC:
 
 ```powershell
-Start-Service ssh-agent
-ssh-add $env:USERPROFILE\.ssh\id_ed25519
+.\MrTrust.ps1 install
 ```
 
-Show the public key:
+Open the GUI:
 
 ```powershell
-Get-Content $env:USERPROFILE\.ssh\id_ed25519.pub
+.\MrTrust.ps1 gui
 ```
 
-Add that public key in Gitea:
-
-```text
-Profile -> Settings -> SSH / GPG Keys -> Add Key
-```
-
-Clone with SSH:
-
-```bash
-git clone ssh://git@git.wilkensxl.de:2222/OWNER/REPOSITORY.git
-cd REPOSITORY
-```
-
-Optional SSH config:
-
-```text
-Host git.wilkensxl.de
-  HostName git.wilkensxl.de
-  User git
-  Port 2222
-  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
-```
-
-With that config, this shorter clone URL also works:
-
-```bash
-git clone git@git.wilkensxl.de:OWNER/REPOSITORY.git
-```
-
-Verify the remote:
-
-```bash
-git remote -v
-git status --short
-```
-
-<p align="center"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andreasbm/readme/master/assets/lines/rainbow.png" alt="-----------------------------------------------------" width="100%"></p>
-
-## Applying The Kit With Codex
-
-For a new repository, start Codex in the target repository and use:
-
-```text
-Use the Codex Agent Repository Kit.
-Read manifest.json, then use new-repository.md.
-Create the smallest useful baseline for this repository.
-Replace placeholders with real values from this repository.
-Keep commands truthful and do not invent scripts that cannot run.
-Do not create a release.
-```
-
-For an existing repository:
-
-```text
-Use the Codex Agent Repository Kit.
-Read manifest.json, then use existing-project.md.
-Retrofit the baseline without replacing existing project structure or README knowledge.
-Preserve current CI behavior and project style.
-Do not create a release.
-```
-
-<p align="center"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andreasbm/readme/master/assets/lines/rainbow.png" alt="-----------------------------------------------------" width="100%"></p>
-
-## Manual Copy Map
-
-Use `manifest.json` as the source of truth. Common targets:
-
-| Template | Target |
-| --- | --- |
-| `files/AGENTS.md` | `AGENTS.md` |
-| `files/project.md` | `.codex/project.md` |
-| `files/build-gitea.yml` | `.gitea/workflows/build.yml` |
-| `files/security-scan-gitea.yml` | `.gitea/workflows/security-scan.yml` |

-| `files/dependency-check-gitea.yml` | `.gitea/workflows/dependency-check.yml` |
-| `files/release-dry-run-gitea.yml` | `.gitea/workflows/release-dry-run.yml` |
-| `files/template-compliance-gitea.yml` | `.gitea/workflows/template-compliance.yml` |
-| `files/SECURITY.md` | `SECURITY.md` |
-| `files/CHANGELOG.md` | `CHANGELOG.md` |
-| `files/CONTRIBUTING.md` | `CONTRIBUTING.md` |
-| `files/release-checklist.md` | `docs/release-checklist.md` |
-| `files/security-review.md` | `docs/security-review.md` |
-| `files/agent-handoff.md` | `docs/agent-handoff.md` |
-
-<p align="center"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andreasbm/readme/master/assets/lines/rainbow.png" alt="-----------------------------------------------------" width="100%"></p>
-
-## Required Placeholder Values
-
-Replace or remove all placeholders before considering a repository ready:
-
-```text
-PROJECT_NAME
-PROJECT_DESCRIPTION
-REPOSITORY_OWNER
-REPOSITORY_NAME
-PACKAGE_NAME
-ARTIFACT_NAME
-ARTIFACT_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
-AUTHOR_NAME
-PROJECT_STACK
-DOWNLOAD_URL
-CI_URL
-RELEASES_URL
-BUILD_COMMAND
-TEST_COMMAND
-LINT_COMMAND
-AUDIT_COMMAND
-README_COMMAND
-INSTALL_COMMAND
-DEV_COMMAND
-PACKAGE_MANAGER
-PROJECT_VERSION
-COMMIT_OR_VERSION
-```
-
-If a value does not apply, remove that section instead of leaving fake data. If a value is genuinely unknown, mark it as `PENDING`.
-
-<p align="center"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andreasbm/readme/master/assets/lines/rainbow.png" alt="-----------------------------------------------------" width="100%"></p>
-
-## Token Overview
-
-Use separate tokens for separate jobs.
-
-| Token | Location | Purpose |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `REGISTRY_TOKEN` | Repository secret | CI package publishing from Gitea Actions |
-| `GITEA_TOKEN` | Local environment or repository secret | Gitea API access for issues, releases, workflow polling, and repository metadata |
-
-Repository secrets are available to workflows. They are not visible to local Codex sessions. Local Codex API actions need a local environment variable.
-
-<p align="center"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andreasbm/readme/master/assets/lines/rainbow.png" alt="-----------------------------------------------------" width="100%"></p>
-
-## Gitea Token Permissions
-
-For both tokens, choose this repository access level:
-
-```text
-Repository and Organization Access: All (public, private, and limited)
-```
-
-Use separate tokens where possible. A package-only token should not be able to create issues or releases.
-
-### REGISTRY_TOKEN Permissions
-
-Use this token as a repository secret for package publishing from Gitea Actions:
-
-```text
-package: Read and Write
-repository: Read
-user: Read
-
-activitypub: No Access
-admin: No Access
-issue: No Access
-misc: No Access
-notification: No Access
-organization: No Access
-```
-
-These permissions cover generic package uploads while still allowing the workflow to read repository metadata.
-
-### GITEA_TOKEN Permissions
-
-Use this token locally on the PC for Codex API actions, or as a repository secret only when workflows need issue, release, or workflow API access:
-
-```text
-issue: Read and Write
-package: Read
-repository: Read and Write
-user: Read
-
-activitypub: No Access
-admin: No Access
-misc: No Access
-notification: No Access
-organization: No Access
-```
-
-These permissions cover creating and reading issues, creating and reading releases, reading repository metadata, and polling workflow runs where the Gitea API allows it. `package: Read` is enough for API checks; use `package: Read and Write` only if this same token must publish packages.
-
-Use a dedicated bot or automation user when possible.
-
-<p align="center"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andreasbm/readme/master/assets/lines/rainbow.png" alt="-----------------------------------------------------" width="100%"></p>
-
-## Setting Local Tokens
-
-Set a local token for Codex or shell-based API work.
-
-Current PowerShell session:
+Sign another project build:
 
 ```powershell
-$env:GITEA_TOKEN = "paste-token-here"
+.\MrTrust.ps1 sign `
+  -Path "C:\Path\To\App.exe" `
+  -PfxPath ".\private\MrSphay-CodeSigning.pfx"
 ```
 
-Persist for the current Windows user:
+Remove the trust certificate:
 
 ```powershell
-setx GITEA_TOKEN "paste-token-here"
+.\MrTrust.ps1 uninstall
 ```
 
-Open a new terminal after `setx`.
-
-Test repository API access:
+Build a user-facing ZIP release:
 
 ```powershell
-$headers = @{ Authorization = "token $env:GITEA_TOKEN" }
-Invoke-RestMethod `
-  -Uri "https://git.wilkensxl.de/api/v1/repos/REPOSITORY_OWNER/REPOSITORY_NAME" `
-  -Headers $headers
+.\scripts\New-MrTrustRelease.ps1 -Version 0.1.0
 ```
 
-Test issue access:
+The Gitea workflow `.gitea/workflows/build.yml` builds the same ZIP on a Windows runner and uploads it as an artifact.
+If the Windows runner has the private signing certificate installed, set `MRTRUST_SIGNING_THUMBPRINT` to sign the launcher during the build.
+
+## User Installation
+
+For normal users, distribute MrTrust with the public certificate file:
+
+```text
+assets\certificates\MrSphay-LocalTrust-Root.cer
+assets\certificates\MrSphay-CodeSigning.cer
+```
+
+The user runs:
 
 ```powershell
-Invoke-RestMethod `
-  -Uri "https://git.wilkensxl.de/api/v1/repos/REPOSITORY_OWNER/REPOSITORY_NAME/issues?state=open&limit=1" `
-  -Headers $headers
+.\MrTrust.ps1 gui
 ```
 
-<p align="center"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andreasbm/readme/master/assets/lines/rainbow.png" alt="-----------------------------------------------------" width="100%"></p>
-
-## Setting Repository Secrets
-
-In Gitea:
+By default, MrTrust installs trust only for the current Windows user:
 
 ```text
-Repository -> Settings -> Actions -> Secrets -> Add Secret
+Root certificate -> Cert:\CurrentUser\Root
+Code-signing certificate -> Cert:\CurrentUser\TrustedPublisher
 ```
 
-Add:
+For all users on the machine, run PowerShell as Administrator:
 
-```text
-REGISTRY_TOKEN
+```powershell
+.\MrTrust.ps1 install -Scope LocalMachine
 ```
 
-Use a token with package write access. If you want workflows to create releases or issues too, add a separate secret:
+## Using This Repo With Other Agents
 
-```text
-GITEA_TOKEN
-```
+Yes. Give another agent this repository URL and the target Windows project, then paste `docs/integration-prompt.md`.
 
-Keep package publishing and release or issue automation separate when possible. It makes permission reviews easier.
+Both sides have to be wired:
 
-<p align="center"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andreasbm/readme/master/assets/lines/rainbow.png" alt="-----------------------------------------------------" width="100%"></p>
+- MrTrust side: users install the public trust certificates once.
+- Target project side: release artifacts are signed with the MrSphay code-signing certificate.
+- Installer side, optional: the target app can offer "Open MrTrust" or bundle the MrTrust ZIP, but it must not silently change trust.
 
-## Package Publishing
+If the target project is not signed, MrTrust cannot make it trusted.
 
-`files/build-gitea.yml` can publish generic packages when `REGISTRY_TOKEN` is available.
+## Important Limits
 
-The workflow:
+- This only helps for programs signed with the matching MrSphay certificate chain.

-- updates a stable `latest` package path.
+## Recommended Project Integration
 
-The workflow uses:
-
-```text
-GITHUB_SERVER_URL
-GITHUB_REPOSITORY_OWNER
-GITHUB_REPOSITORY
-REGISTRY_TOKEN
-```
-
-When those values are unavailable, replace `REPOSITORY_OWNER`, `REPOSITORY_NAME`, and related placeholders before use. The default Gitea server is `https://git.wilkensxl.de`.

-
-## Agent Follow-up Issues
-
-Agents should create focused tracker issues for real follow-up work that is outside the current scope or can be handled independently by humans or other agents.
-
-An issue should include:
-
-- observed problem,
-- impact,
-- affected files or commands,
-- suggested next steps,
-- verification already performed.
-
-Agents must not create issues for vague reminders, duplicate work, or tasks they can safely finish immediately. Sensitive details belong in private channels or `docs/agent-handoff.md`, not public issues.
-

-
-## Release Checklist For A New Repo
-
-Before the first release of a target project:
-
-1. Ensure `AGENTS.md` and `.codex/project.md` match the real project.
-2. Replace all placeholders or mark genuinely unknown values as `PENDING`.
-3. Configure `REGISTRY_TOKEN` if packages are published.
-4. Configure `GITEA_TOKEN` only if workflows need issue or release API access.
-5. Verify SSH push access.
-6. Run lint, test, build, and audit commands that exist.
-7. Run `git diff --check`.
-8. Confirm release artifacts do not include Codex kit metadata unless explicitly wanted.
-9. Push and poll workflows to success or document the blocker.

-## Updating The Kit In A Project
-
-When this kit changes, update target repositories conservatively:
-
-```bash
-git status --short
-git pull --ff-only
-```
-
-Then ask Codex:
-
-```text
-Update this repository's Codex Agent Repository Kit files from the latest kit.
-Preserve project-specific README content, commands, release rules, and workflow customizations.
-Do not overwrite unrelated changes.
-```
+Use `docs/integration-prompt.md` in another Windows project. The prompt tells Codex or another assistant to add a visible trust check, a link or bundled copy of MrTrust, and a signing step without hiding security changes from the user.

+# MrTrust Integration Prompt
+
+Use this prompt in another Windows project when you want Codex or another agent to add MrTrust support.
+
+```text
+Integrate MrTrust support into this Windows project.
+
+Goal:
+- Users should be able to run MrTrust once to trust software from MrSphay on their own PC.
+- The project must not disable Defender, SmartScreen, UAC, or Windows security policy.
+- All trust changes must be visible and require explicit user confirmation.
+
+Implementation requirements:
+- Add a docs section that explains MrTrust and links to or bundles the MrTrust release ZIP.
+- Add a build or release signing step that signs Windows artifacts with the MrSphay code-signing certificate.
+- Do not commit any .pfx file, private key, certificate password, or signing secret.
+- If the project has an installer, add an optional "Open MrTrust" action that runs:
+  powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\MrTrust\MrTrust.ps1 gui
+- Prefer CurrentUser certificate installation by default.
+- Only offer LocalMachine installation when the user explicitly chooses an all-users install and the process is elevated.
+- Add an uninstall path or documentation that runs:
+  powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\MrTrust\MrTrust.ps1 uninstall
+- Keep the UI wording clear: the user is trusting MrSphay signed software, not bypassing Windows security.
+- If this project produces an .exe, .msi, .dll, .ps1, .psm1, .psd1, or .cat release artifact, sign it with:
+  powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\MrTrust\MrTrust.ps1 sign -Path <artifact-path> -CertificateThumbprint A024A89200469F099EC4A172B4F96F6428AFD41B
+- Treat the certificate thumbprint as public metadata, but never commit private signing material.
+
+Verification:
+- Confirm unsigned builds still show as unsigned.
+- Confirm signed builds validate after MrTrust installation.
+- Confirm the MrTrust certificate can be removed again.
+- Confirm no private signing material is present in the repository or release artifact.
+```

+# MrTrust Security Model
+
+MrTrust is a trust bootstrapper, not a security bypass.
+
+## Allowed Behavior
+
+- Import a public MrSphay certificate into Windows certificate stores after explicit user approval.
+- Sign MrSphay build artifacts with a private code-signing certificate kept outside git.
+- Provide an uninstall script that removes the same certificate again.
+
+## Disallowed Behavior
+
+- Disabling Microsoft Defender.
+- Disabling SmartScreen.
+- Silently modifying certificate stores.
+- Installing private keys on user machines.
+- Hiding certificate installation inside unrelated app actions.
+- Shipping `.pfx` files or signing passwords in a repository or release.
+
+## Recommended Stores
+
+For normal users:
+
+```text
+Cert:\CurrentUser\Root
+Cert:\CurrentUser\TrustedPublisher
+```
+
+For managed PCs or all-user installs:
+
+```text
+Cert:\LocalMachine\Root
+Cert:\LocalMachine\TrustedPublisher
+```
+
+The LocalMachine stores require administrator approval.
+
+## Residual Windows Warnings
+
+Even after MrTrust is installed, Windows can still block suspicious software. SmartScreen reputation, Defender detections, enterprise security policy, and downloaded-file mark-of-the-web behavior are separate from Authenticode trust.
