//! Embeds a Windows application manifest into the `installrs` CLI binary.
//!
//! The binary is named `installrs`, which contains the substring "install".
//! Windows' legacy installer-detection heuristic flags such executables and
//! auto-elevates them via UAC unless they ship a manifest declaring an explicit
//! `requestedExecutionLevel`. `installrs.manifest` declares `asInvoker`, so the
//! build tool runs with the caller's privileges instead of prompting for
//! elevation on every invocation. No-op on non-Windows targets.
