+# Reference: Windows MSVC maintenance lane
+
+Companion to [SKILL.md](SKILL.md). Use this file for quick lookup while
+maintaining the existing build-only Windows MSVC lane.
+
+## Lane Files
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `tasks/windows.toml` | Mise task definitions for `windows:*`. |
+| `tasks/scripts/windows-msvc.ps1` | Visual Studio environment discovery, rustup target setup, Cargo invocation, logs, artifact report. |
+| `.github/workflows/windows-msvc.yml` | Manual GitHub Actions x64 job and disabled ARM64 scaffold, each with an architecture-specific Rust dependency cache. |
+| `architecture/windows-msvc-build.md` | Human-readable design contract. |
+
+## Commands
+
+Use `--skip-tools` for all Windows mise tasks:
+
+```powershell
+mise run --skip-tools windows:check:x64
+mise run --skip-tools windows:check:arm64
+mise run --skip-tools windows:build:x64
+mise run --skip-tools windows:build:arm64
+mise run --skip-tools windows:test:x64
+mise run --skip-tools windows:test:arm64
+mise run --skip-tools windows:test:unsupported:x64
+mise run --skip-tools windows:test:unsupported:arm64
+mise run --skip-tools windows:ci
+```
+
+For host-native full validation, detect architecture first:
+
+```powershell
+$arch = [System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation]::OSArchitecture
+if ($arch -eq [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Architecture]::Arm64) {
+    mise run --skip-tools windows:check:arm64
+    mise run --skip-tools windows:build:arm64
+    mise run --skip-tools windows:test:arm64
+    mise run --skip-tools windows:test:unsupported:arm64
+    mise run --skip-tools windows:artifacts
+} else {
+    mise run --skip-tools windows:ci
+}
+```
+
+The native test tasks reject a target that does not match the host architecture.
+Do not report x64 compatibility-under-emulation coverage from an ARM64 run.
+
+The wrapper adds missing rustup targets and clears inherited
+`RUSTC_WRAPPER`. It does not install Visual Studio, Rust, Docker, Kubernetes,
+Podman, WSL, Hyper-V, or VM tooling.
+
+On Windows, `mise run pre-commit` routes `rust:check`, `rust:lint`, and
+`test:rust` through this wrapper for the host-native target. The shared task
+definitions retain their existing Unix commands. Only tests for Linux glibc
+installer behavior, Linux build-environment shell helpers, and Linux
+service/RPM packaging assets skip on Windows. The Windows Clippy command
+excludes unsupported runtime packages as top-level targets and allows only
+unused imports, dead code, and unused async functions caused by cfg-gated
+Windows stubs; other warnings remain errors.
+
+The wrapper limits Cargo to four jobs by default and serializes wrapper-owned
+Cargo commands with a host-local mutex. It does not set `CL` or `_CL_` because
+`clang-cl` also consumes them and can parse a global `/MP4` option as an input
+file.
+
+For ARM64, verify the Visual Studio instance contains the ARM64 MSVC tools,
+ARM64 Spectre-mitigated libraries, Clang tools, CMake tools, and a Windows SDK.
+Clang supplies host-native `libclang.dll` for `bindgen` and `clang-cl.exe` for
+ARM64 crypto dependencies such as `ring` and `aws-lc-sys`. Native ARM64 uses
+the normal bundled-Z3 CMake path. An x64-to-ARM64 check/build discovers and
+adds host-native Ninja to `PATH`, while the crypto crates select `clang-cl`.
+Bundled Z3 uses CMake's Visual Studio ARM64 generator with native MSVC `cl.exe`
+because `z3-sys 0.10.9` passes the MSBuild-only `-m` argument. Use a short
+`CARGO_TARGET_DIR` if Windows path-length limits are reached.
+
+## Unsupported Driver Rules
+
+Windows is a build target only. These runtimes remain unsupported:
+
+- Docker
+- Kubernetes
+- Podman
+- VM
+
+Rules:
+
+- Keep config/library stubs where the gateway needs them.
+- Return clear unsupported errors at runtime.
+- Do not build standalone Windows driver binaries.
+- Do not add Docker Desktop, WSL, Hyper-V, Podman machine, Podman Desktop, or
+  VM-backed execution as part of this skill.
+
+Current focused unsupported-contract tests:
+
+```text
+windows_builtin_compute_drivers_report_unsupported
+```
+
+Run them with the architecture-specific focused task on the native host.
+
+## Cargo Excludes
+
+The Windows wrapper intentionally excludes unsupported runtime packages as
+top-level workspace targets for check/test:
+
+```text
+--exclude openshell-driver-docker
+--exclude openshell-driver-kubernetes
+--exclude openshell-driver-kubernetes-secrets
+--exclude openshell-driver-podman
+--exclude openshell-driver-vault
+--exclude openshell-driver-vm
+--exclude openshell-sandbox
+--exclude openshell-supervisor-network
+--exclude openshell-supervisor-process
+--exclude openshell-vfio
+```
+
+The gateway keeps platform configuration and unsupported-operation contracts
+without depending on the Docker, Kubernetes, Podman, sandbox supervisor,
+process supervisor, VM, or VFIO runtime crates. The Kubernetes Secrets and
+Vault libraries still compile as gateway dependencies; only their standalone
+Unix-socket binaries and package-level tests are excluded as top-level targets.
+
+## Common Errors
+
+### Unix imports leak into Windows builds
+
+Symptoms:
+
+```text
+unresolved import std::os::unix
+unresolved import tokio::net::UnixListener
+unresolved import nix::...
+```
+
+Fix pattern:
+
+```rust
+#[cfg(unix)]
+use tokio::net::{UnixListener, UnixStream};
+```
+
+Move Unix-only functions into Unix-only modules, or add a Windows stub that
+returns an unsupported error.
+
+### Linux-only dependency reaches Windows
+
+Symptoms:
+
+```text
+failed to run custom build command for libseccomp-sys
+pkg-config could not find libsecret
+```
+
+Fix pattern:
+
+```toml
+[target.'cfg(target_os = "linux")'.dependencies]
+libseccomp = "..."
+```
+
+Only gate the dependency if no Windows path should use it.
+
+### ARM64 check fails but x64 passes
+
+Likely causes:
+
+- Native dependency does not support `aarch64-pc-windows-msvc`.
+- ARM64 MSVC or Spectre-mitigated libraries are missing.
+- Host-native `clang-cl`, Ninja, or CMake is missing during an x64-to-ARM64 build.
+- `CL` or `_CL_` injects a global MSVC option such as `/MP4` into `clang-cl`.
+- Build script assumes x64 tools.
+- Inline assembly or prebuilt artifact lacks ARM64 handling.
+
+Do not skip ARM64 silently. Either fix the target handling or report the exact
+blocked dependency.
+
+### Focused tests report many filtered-out tests
+
+This is expected for `windows:test:unsupported:x64`. Cargo runs one named test
+and filters the other `openshell-server` tests. Report these as filtered, not
+ignored.
+
+## Reporting Counts
+
+Use the log summaries from:
+
+| Log | Count source |
+|---|---|
+| `test-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.log` | Full x64 workspace test pass. |
+| `test-aarch64-pc-windows-msvc.log` | Full native ARM64 workspace test pass. |
+| `test-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc-unsupported-*.log` | Focused unsupported-contract re-runs and filtered counts. |
+| `test-aarch64-pc-windows-msvc-unsupported-*.log` | Focused native ARM64 re-runs and filtered counts. |
+
+Separate:
+
+- passed
+- failed
+- ignored
+- filtered out
+- cfg-gated zero-test targets
+- package-level excludes
+
+Package-level excludes are not printed as ignored tests by Cargo.
+
+## Final Sanity Checks
+
+Before committing Windows-lane changes, choose checks based on the host
+architecture:
+
+```powershell
+cargo fmt --all
+git diff --check
+$arch = [System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation]::OSArchitecture
+if ($arch -eq [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Architecture]::Arm64) {
+    mise run --skip-tools windows:check:arm64
+    mise run --skip-tools windows:build:arm64
+    mise run --skip-tools windows:test:arm64
+    mise run --skip-tools windows:test:unsupported:arm64
+} else {
+    mise run --skip-tools windows:check:x64
+    mise run --skip-tools windows:check:arm64
+    mise run --skip-tools windows:test:unsupported:x64
+}
+```
+
+Run the full x64-host `windows:ci` lane when build or test behavior changed and
+the host can run that lane natively.

 GitHub built-in issue types (`Bug`, `Feature`, `Task`) should come from the matching issue template when possible, or be set manually afterward. Do not try to emulate them through labels.
 
+Creating an issue does not accept it or queue agent work. Agents never apply `state:accepted`, the `roadmap` label, add issues to the roadmap project, or apply `agent:plan-requested` or `agent:implementation-requested`. Community issues proceed through `triage-issue`; a human accepts technically validated work with `state:accepted` or roadmap placement. The request labels queue work for unattended agents; a user may instead direct an agent to a specific issue.
