 <!--
   MEDHĀ IDE — MSIX manifest (Microsoft Store, free Individual developer account).
   WHAT: describes the packaged Win32 app (MEDHA.exe) to Windows and the Store.
-  WHY placeholders: Identity Name / Publisher / PublisherDisplayName MUST be copied
-       from Partner Center → your app → Product identity. Wrong values = Store rejects
-       the upload, so they are never guessed. build_msix.ps1 replaces __VERSION__.
+  Identity values copied from Partner Center → Product identity (23 Oct 2026).
+       They are public (every installed MSIX shows them), so they live in the repo. build_msix.ps1 replaces __VERSION__.
   runFullTrust: required for a classic desktop (Win32) app; nothing else is requested.
