The v0.8.2 Windows archive shipped an herdr.exe that imported
VCRUNTIME140.dll and the api-ms-win-crt-* Universal CRT, none of which the
archive provides. Static CRT linkage was restored for x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
in .cargo/config.toml, but nothing verified the packaged executable, so the
dependency could silently regress.
Parse the PE import and delay-import tables and reject herdr.exe when it
depends on the dynamic Microsoft C/C++ runtime, including release and debug
variants. Check the input while staging and re-check the staged executable
before archiving so a direct archive cannot bypass the guard.
