SignPath Foundation requires a page titled "Code signing policy" that carries its attribution, names the committers, reviewers and approvers, and links the privacy policy, referenced from the project home page and the release pages.
docs/code-signing-policy.md states what is signed, the team roles taken from the repository collaborators and the maintainers team, the CI release process that SignPath-signed builds will go through, and the current status: releases up to v0.9.3 were built and signed locally with the Certum certificate. Both READMEs link to it, and publish-release.sh appends the link to the release notes it writes.
Automatic per-merge builds shared one list with deliberately cut releases, and the previous change only made them identifiable rather than separate: both were still prereleases, which is the thing the issue objects to. Labelling was the wrong answer to it.
GitHub has no channel concept, but it has two published states, and there are exactly two kinds of release here. A push-triggered build is now a prerelease; a workflow_dispatch build is an ordinary release and the newest one carries the Latest badge. The Releases page shows two lists instead of one list with two kinds of title in it, and /releases/latest resolves for the first time.
The prerelease flag therefore means "automatic and uncurated" rather than "beta". The product being 内测 is stated in the release notes and in docs/installation.md, which is where a claim about stability belongs; the flag cannot carry that meaning while it is also the only thing separating the channels. docs/installation.md now tells readers to take the Latest badge, describes both channels, and says explicitly that being in the release channel means somebody picked it, not that it is stable.
Already published releases are not touched, so the Latest badge stays empty until the first dispatch after this lands.

GitHub has three release states and no notion of a channel, so an automatic per-merge build and a release somebody deliberately cut both land in the same Pre-release list that docs/installation.md presents to users as the 内测版 channel. Before every releasable merge produced a release that did not matter; now it does.
Releases published from a push get 「（自动构建）」 in the title and a note saying they were not curated. Releases published from a workflow_dispatch keep the bare tag as their title, which is what release-please already set. docs/installation.md tells readers which is which and why they share one list.
This is deliberately a labelling change and not a second release track. Giving automatic builds their own tag namespace would need a parallel versioning mechanism alongside the one release-please owns, and stacking that on a pipeline that is currently failing and shipping unsigned artifacts is the wrong order.

release.yml had grown thirteen inline shell and PowerShell blocks, some of them twenty lines, which made the workflow hard to read and impossible to lint or run outside Actions. Each one is now a file under scripts/ci and the workflow only wires them up.
Two things fall out of the move rather than being separate changes. The two signing steps were near-duplicates and are now one sign-binaries.ps1 taking a path list, used for both the packaged binaries and the finished installer. The pinned Inno Setup language file URL and checksum move to the packaging job's env, where they read as configuration instead of being buried mid-script.
The Server job now checks this repository out into automation/ for its two scripts. That checkout has to come after the MSIME-Server one, because checkout cleans its destination and the workspace root would take automation/ with it.
shellcheck is clean on all six shell scripts. The PowerShell is not syntax-checked here for lack of pwsh, but four of the seven are verbatim from steps that already ran green in run 33953797415.
