 Portable builds show alerts as banners but do not keep them in the notification center. That requires the Start Menu shortcut installed by the standard or Store build.

 ### Internal
 - The release smoke test now asserts that the installed Start Menu shortcut carries Ceiling's AppUserModelID. That property is what lets Windows keep a notification, and 1.5.17 shipped without it: every gate checked source, while the one step that inspects the installed build never looked at it.
+- Shortcut identity validation now asks the Windows Shell for `System.AppUserModel.ID`. The custom property marshaller misread a correctly packaged shortcut as empty and blocked the unpublished 1.5.20 release.
