+name: Windows ARM64 (experimental)
+
+# Native Windows-on-ARM build, produced on GitHub's windows-11-arm runners
+# (free for public repositories). Kept as a standalone manually-triggered
+# workflow so it can be exercised and stabilised before being folded into
+# the release matrix. Remaining integration steps for release.yml are
+# listed in the PR description: user-mode variant, Authenticode signing
+# steps, and windows-aarch64 entries in the updater's latest.json.

+# PDFium + WebView2Loader for Windows ARM64
+
+- `pdfium.dll`: PDFium prebuilt for win-arm64, from
+  https://github.com/bblanchon/pdfium-binaries/releases/tag/chromium%2F7834
+  (same chromium/7834 pin as the Linux fetch in `.github/workflows/release.yml`).
+  Licence: `LICENSE` in this directory (Apache-2.0/BSD-3-Clause, see file).
+- `WebView2Loader.dll`: win-arm64 native loader from the `Microsoft.Web.WebView2`
+  NuGet package, version 1.0.4078.44 (`runtimes/win-arm64/native/`).
+
+Selected at build time by the ARM64 workflow in
+`.github/workflows/windows-arm64.yml`, which rewrites `bundle.resources` to
+point here instead of `binaries/win-x64/`.
