What changed, and why it matters
This is a documentation-only change that adds a new Windows cross-compilation target to the build instructions. It does not modify any executable code, build scripts, or configuration logic. There is no security relevance.
No security action needed. This is a routine documentation update.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The commit updates depends/README.md to document the x86_64-w64-mingw32ucrt host triplet for Windows cross-compilation using the Universal C Runtime (UCRT), alongside the existing MSVCRT-based x86_64-w64-mingw32 triplet. It also adds the corresponding apt package (g++-mingw-w64-ucrt64) to the dependency installation instructions. No code, build system, or cryptographic logic is changed.
