Adds packaging/chocolatey/, the source of the tachyon package on the Chocolatey Community Repository (packageSourceUrl points here).

  • Install: unzips the signed release zip (embedded; SHA256 in legal/VERIFICATION.txt) into the package folder, flattened so tachyon.exe keeps one path across upgrades; marks it as a GUI app so the shim returns at once (the first launch stays resident); adds an all-users Start menu shortcut.
  • Upgrade / uninstall (chocolateybeforemodify.ps1): finds Tachyon processes through Win32_Process (paths for every user's processes when elevated) and closes those running from the package, with --quit (hot exit) when it is the only Tachyon in the session, otherwise by stopping only the package's processes. Another install such as the MSIX build is never touched. If a Tachyon process's path cannot be read, the change is refused rather than leaving files half-replaced.
  • Uninstall: removes the shortcut and, for users signed in at the time, a sign-in autostart entry that points at the package's exe. Settings and documents are kept.

README install section and CHANGELOG (Unreleased) updated.

Tested on Windows 11 26340, elevated, with choco install from the local package: 27/27 checks passed (install layout, signature, shim prints --version/--help and returns at once, a window opens from the package copy, autostart entry points at the package exe, reinstall and uninstall while it runs close it, autostart survives an upgrade and is removed on uninstall, folder/shim/shortcut removed, an MSIX Tachyon running alongside left untouched). Not exercised: the graceful --quit branch, because an MSIX Tachyon was running in the same session (the package then takes the stop branch by design).

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added Chocolatey support for installing Tachyon on 64-bit Windows 10 and 11.
    • Installs the signed build with a Start menu shortcut and tachyon command available on PATH.
    • Supports package-based upgrades and clean uninstallation, including removal of package-managed autostart entries.
  • Documentation

    • Added installation, upgrade, uninstall, verification, licensing, and release guidance.
    • Clarified that user settings and documents are preserved and documented compatibility considerations with MSIX.

The change adds a Chocolatey package for Tachyon on Windows. It installs the signed ZIP build, creates a Start menu shortcut, and defines upgrade and uninstall cleanup. The README, changelog, and package documentation describe installation, package behavior, and release steps.

Changes: Chocolatey package

Layer / File(s) Summary
Package definition and installation
packaging/chocolatey/tachyon.nuspec, packaging/chocolatey/tools/chocolateyinstall.ps1, packaging/chocolatey/.gitignore, packaging/chocolatey/legal/*
The package specification defines Tachyon 1.5.0 and includes its legal and verification files. The install script extracts the versioned ZIP, configures the GUI shim, and creates a Start menu shortcut.
Upgrade and uninstall cleanup
packaging/chocolatey/tools/chocolateybeforemodify.ps1, packaging/chocolatey/tools/chocolateyuninstall.ps1
The pre-modification script stops package-launched processes. The uninstall script removes the package shortcut and matching per-user autostart entries.
Installation and release guidance
README.md, CHANGELOG.md, packaging/chocolatey/README.md
The documentation describes Chocolatey installation, upgrade, and uninstall behavior, user-data retention, and package release steps.

Some users may retain a stale sign-in entry after uninstall, and an upgrade or uninstall may fail if it cannot identify a running package instance. These bounded cases warrant owner attention but do not establish a broad installation failure.

A rabbit watched the package land,
The signed ZIP settled into place.
A shortcut hopped into the Start Menu,
While cleanup cleared the upgrade path.
Settings stayed safe, documents too,
Then the rabbit nibbled changelog leaves.

Review comments at @packaging/chocolatey/tools/chocolateybeforemodify.ps1:
- Around line 13-14: Update Get-PackageProcess and the surrounding
chocolateybeforemodify flow to resolve executable paths through a method that
works for inaccessible or 32-bit-query-limited processes, rather than excluding
entries with unusable Path values. If ownership still cannot be determined, stop
with a clear error before package modification; only act on processes owned by
this package and do not terminate every tachyon process indiscriminately.

Review comments at @README.md:
- Around line 230-231: Qualify the uninstall documentation in README.md and
CHANGELOG.md to state that autostart cleanup only applies to currently loaded
user hives, so entries for users not signed in may remain; do not claim
unconditional removal unless chocolateyuninstall.ps1 is updated to enumerate all
relevant user profiles.

@coderabbitai review

Both findings are addressed in 723d014: chocolateybeforemodify.ps1 now reads process paths from Win32_Process (every user's processes when elevated) and refuses the change if a Tachyon path cannot be read; README, CHANGELOG and the package README now say the autostart cleanup covers users signed in at the time. Re-tested elevated: 27/27 checks pass.

Both findings fixed in 723d014 (Win32_Process paths with a refusal when unknown; autostart cleanup documented as signed-in users only). CodeRabbit is rate limited and does not re-review commits it already saw.
