ci(windows): pin jom to 1.1.2
What changed, and why it matters
This commit changes a single line in the project's Windows CI configuration. It pins the version of 'jom'—a build tool used during automated Windows builds—to a specific release (1.1.2) instead of always downloading the latest version. There is no direct evidence in the commit or supplied references that this fixes a security vulnerability. It appears to be a build reliability or reproducibility change.
No security action required. Treat as a normal CI hygiene/reproducibility improvement. If reviewing for supply-chain risk, consider verifying the checksum of the pinned jom_1_1_2.zip archive in the CI script.
Security signals we found
HTTP URL changed to HTTPS (transport encryption for download)
Floating dependency version pinned to specific release (1.1.2)
Evidence from the diff
The diff modifies .cirrus.yml, replacing the URL http://download.qt.io/official_releases/jom/jom.zip with https://download.qt.io/official_releases/jom/jom_1_1_2.zip. This pins the jom binary used in the Windows CI environment to version 1.1.2 and also upgrades the protocol from HTTP to HTTPS. The change is purely in CI infrastructure; no application code, cryptography, consensus logic, or network handling is touched. No security relevance is stated by the vendor, and no independent references are supplied.
