Research direction
Start by reproducing the Windows antivirus detection with the v1.7.6 release asset and with go get -v github.com/jpillora/chisel, then determine whether the downloaded or built executable is being flagged. The report names no source files or tests; done means identifying and addressing the false-positive or affected release path so the Windows download and build are no longer blocked.
