""" Python-native .intunewin file assembler. Generates valid .intunewin packages using AES-256-CBC encryption with HMAC-SHA256, producing the exact byte layout that Microsoft Intune expects. Encrypted blob layout (from svrooij.io reverse-engineering): [0:32] HMAC-SHA256 of the ciphertext (32 bytes, mac_key) [32:48] AES-256-CBC Initialization Vector (16 bytes — standard AES block size) [48:] AES-256-CBC ciphertext (PKCS7-padded to 16-byte boundary) IMPORTANT: IV is 16 bytes, NOT 32. STACK.md has a documentation error on this point.
