Publish Fibratus packages to Windows Package Manager (winget) #645

Description

Motivation

Currently Fibratus installation requires manual download or custom deployment steps. This creates friction for users who want to quickly evaluate or deploy Fibratus on Windows systems.

The Windows Package Manager (winget), maintained by Microsoft, is becoming the standard package management platform for modern Windows environments. Publishing Fibratus to winget would allow users to install and manage Fibratus directly from the native Windows package ecosystem.

Expectation

Users should be able to install Fibratus using winget with a single command:

winget install fibratus

This should install:

• Fibratus binary
• Default configuration files
• Optional service installation capability
• Documentation reference

Proposal

Submit and maintain an official Fibratus package in the Windows Package Manager repository including:

• Stable release package
• Automatic version updates
• SHA256 verification
• Release binaries pulled from GitHub Releases

This should include:

• x64 builds
• Proper versioning
• Upgrade support (winget upgrade fibratus)
• Clean uninstall support

Additional context

Winget is increasingly used in:

• Native Windows developer environments
• Enterprise IT deployments
• Modern Windows provisioning workflows
• Security and research workstations

Supporting winget would make Fibratus significantly easier to install and maintain within the modern Windows ecosystem.
