4. Compatibility Considerations

• Backwards compatibility:
  • Patch manifest format v1 remains supported; optional new fields ignored by v1.0.
• Breaking changes:
  • Strict signature verification may reject previously unsigned patches; users should re-sign or obtain signed patches.
  • Logging JSON schema changes may require log consumers to adapt.
• Platform support:
  • v1.03 supports Linux x86_64 and Windows x64; ensure matching binaries are used.

5. Authenticity and Integrity Verification

• If a PGP/GPG signature accompanies the archive, verify it with the vendor’s verified public key.
• If only checksums are provided, compare SHA-256 or better; ensure the checksum source is trusted (HTTPS vendor page or signed notice).
• On Windows, check Authenticode signatures on executables. On Linux, compare package metadata or GPG-signed repositories if applicable.

2. Security and Risk Considerations

• RAR archives are a common vector for malware. Treat unknown archives as untrusted.
• Risks include arbitrary code execution, supply-chain compromise, corrupted files, and configuration changes that break systems.
• Verify authenticity before extraction or execution.
