Description

What's the plan for Scala Native support on Windows?

If it's unsupported, we should maybe document that somewhere (release notes? scala-native page in docs?).

If it is not unsupported, we should enable windows SN jobs in the CI matrix... I'd be surprised if everything worked fine. (E.g., the getentropy call in securerandom probably won't link on windows.)

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by determining whether Scala Native supports Windows, then inspect the CI matrix and the securerandom getentropy call; done means either documenting the unsupported status or enabling Windows Scala Native jobs after confirming the required fixes.
