## Overview

This is a release-hosting repository, not the launcher’s source code. The documented workflow is: a user downloads and runs a Windows installer; the installed launcher checks projectazoth.com for updates, downloads an installer from GitHub Releases, verifies it against a server-published SHA-512, and installs it. Releases also publish SHA-256 sums for manual checks. The README notes that the launcher patches the game client in memory. No source excerpts or release files were provided, so relationships below are based only on the README.

Main entry points: [`README.md`](https://github.com/kyzaboy/azoth-launcher-releases/blob/main/README.md) (Launcher installer)
