Windows lies about the OS version to applications for compatibility unless they explicitly declare tested versions via manifest. Without maxversiontested, the app gets fake version numbers. Changes: - Add windows/vpn.manifest with maxversiontested for Windows 11 24H2 - Declare requestedExecutionLevel=asInvoker (GUI runs unprivileged) - Enable PerMonitorV2 DPI awareness for proper high-DPI support - Simplify msvc.cmake to only apply MSVC-specific flags to actual MSVC The MSVC-only flags (/ZI for edit-and-continue) don't work with clang-cl, so we now explicitly check for MSVC instead of excluding clang.
