The Windows agent MSI package did not include signed variants of the PowerShell-based agent plugins. Users who enforced PowerShell execution policies had to sign the plugins manually or lower the execution policy site-wide.
Starting with this release, the MSI package ships pre-signed PowerShell plugins. The bakery prefers the signed variant over the unsigned one when both are present, so existing setups benefit automatically after an agent update.
