All three found testing the bootstrap installer on Windows.

- The published command used the irm-pipe-iex form, which Microsoft Defender
  detects as Trojan:Win32/Commando.A!ml and kills before it runs, every time,
  on a default install. The command now downloads the script to a file, runs
  it, and removes it in a finally block, which Defender does not object to.
  The UI also offers the script as a plain download for a tech who would
  rather save it.
- Approving a request only linked the asset, so a PC whose pending reason was
  "unknown hostname" - which is every PC installed this way - kept getting 403
  on every call afterwards, because its computer record had no hostname to
  match the credential against. Approval now stamps the hostname when the
  record has none, refuses with a 409 naming both when the record has a
  different one, and overwrites only when the admin confirms. The Credentials
  tab offers that confirmation.
- A hostname that resolves to no record now says so instead of reading as an
  impostor, while still refusing the request.
- While waiting for approval the agent retried on the 15-minute telemetry
  cadence, so a PC approved immediately enrolled a quarter of an hour later
  and the installer always ended on "still pending". It now retries about
  every minute for the first ten minutes, then every five to thirty minutes,
  then every fifteen, with jitter. A rate limit or server error still uses the
  slower backoff.
