This is not an updater. Due to the sensitive nature of Windhawk, it has no auto-updating mechanism, only update notifications (this file is part of that).
I didn't say it was. But having the source means you (and others) can vet the code if that's a concern.
Yeah, I would probably delete this updater if I were to try this: https://github.com/ramensoftware/windhawk/blob/main/src/wind...

It's actually not completely outside of my threat profile.
Honestly, with the prevailaince of ransomware attacks, unless you're a literal hermit, it shouldn't be out of anyone's threat profile.
