Change: Go server binary renamed from server.exe to knowledgedesk-server.exe. Binary now embeds the KnowledgeDesk icon and metadata (Company: osFinancials / TurboCASH, Product: KnowledgeDesk) via resource.sys.

Effect:

  • Eliminates name clashes — taskkill no longer risks killing unrelated server.exe processes
  • Network-environment safe — admin scripts targeting generic server.exe won't touch KnowledgeDesk.
  • Reduces antivirus false positives (branded name + metadata).
  • Better Task Manager clarity.

Installer: Inno Setup now kills knowledgedesk-server.exe before updating.
Status: Shipped in 1.3. Health endpoint reports 1.3.
