+''build-windows-libssh.sh'' cross-builds zlib, OpenSSL and libssh (versions and SHA256 checksums pinned in ''scripts/dependencies.json'') into the toolchain cache for the built-in SSH engine; it needs ''make'' and ''perl'' and takes several minutes the first time. Without it the Windows build still works but offers only the OpenSSH engine. ''LANTERN_LIBSSH_WINDOWS'' selects a different libssh kit. ''build-windows-freerdp.sh'' then cross-builds the FreeRDP 3 client libraries (pinned with their checksum) using that OpenSSL, for RDP sessions; without it the Windows build has no RDP. ''LANTERN_FREERDP_WINDOWS'' selects a different FreeRDP kit. On Linux, RDP uses the distribution's FreeRDP 3 (''freerdp3-dev''); CMake leaves RDP out with a warning if it is missing.
 The setup script installs a pinned aqt helper into a user virtual environment and downloads the official Qt 6.8.3 MinGW Windows kit. The cross build uses the POSIX MinGW compiler variant and vendored Vulkan headers so Linux headers do not enter the Windows build. It does not alter the system compiler configuration.

+The RLogin, BBS-session and Zmodem tests (''tests/rlogin.py'', ''tests/bbs.py'', ''tests/zmodem.py'') run in ctest; the Zmodem test needs lrzsz (''sz'', ''rz'') and is skipped by CMake when they are not installed. Also in ctest: ''tests/ssh_tools.py'' (SFTP Browser and Copy Public Key, needs ''sshd''), ''tests/xfer.py'' (Xmodem, Ymodem and Kermit; needs lrzsz and ''gkermit''), ''tests/rdp.py'' (needs ''Xvfb'', ''xterm'', ''freerdp-shadow-cli3'' from freerdp3-shadow-x11 and ''winpr-hash''; it runs on a private display) and ''tests/update.py''. ''tests/windows_rdp.py'' and ''tests/windows_libssh.py'' run the packaged Windows build under Wine on private displays. The built-in VGA font in ''src/vgafont.h'' is generated: ''python3 scripts/make-vga-font.py > src/vgafont.h'' (needs the console-setup-linux fonts).
 Integration tests create disposable profiles, loopback TCP/Telnet endpoints, a serial PTY, TFTP files and an SSH daemon with temporary keys. SSH tests need ''sshd'' and ''ssh-keygen''; no production hosts, credentials, service configurations or SSH trust stores are modified. The test daemon listens only on loopback. Tests use a protected user cache so OpenSSH strict ownership checks remain enabled.

 The native core suite exercises a desktop launcher through ''gio'' (libglib2.0-bin); launch_checks.py also uses desktop-file-validate (desktop-file-utils). Appearance and workspace tests use disposable/offscreen UI instances. The SSH trace check runs OpenSSH configuration inspection without making a network connection.
