# Windows client

The .NET 10 WinForms client uses `VoiceCat.Core` and `VoiceCat.Audio`. Its only native runtime
component is `voicecat_media.dll`, the narrow Opus/RNNoise shim.

```powershell
./scripts/build-native.ps1
dotnet restore clients/windows/VoiceCat.slnx --locked-mode
dotnet build clients/windows/VoiceCat.slnx -c Release --no-restore
./clients/windows/publish-client.ps1
```

Publishing produces `artifacts/client/win-x64`. The noninteractive form and WASAPI device gate
is:

```powershell
./artifacts/client/win-x64/VoiceCat.App.exe --smoke-test --audio
```

Manual release validation includes keyboard operation, NVDA navigation, curated announcements,
and a sustained real call.
