kawaandClaude Sonnet 4.6 77162466d5 fix(intunewin): align Detection.xml with IntuneWinAppUtil.exe reference format
Four structural defects in the generated Detection.xml caused Intune's upload
wizard to silently fail metadata parsing (empty form, OK button greyed):

1. Missing ToolVersion="1.8.6.0" XML attribute on ApplicationInfo — the wizard
   uses this to validate the package was produced by a compatible tool.
2. Spurious xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/IntuneWin" namespace — changes
   element identity for Intune's XML parser (reference emits no namespace).
3. <?xml version="1.0" ?> declaration header — reference uses OmitXmlDeclaration=true.
4. Extra <MacAlgorithm> child element inside EncryptionInfo — not present in
   the reference FileEncryptionInfo model (svrooij/ContentPrep verified).

Fix: switched from toprettyxml() to tostring(xml_declaration=False)+indent(),
added ToolVersion attribute, removed xmlns and MacAlgorithm.
Tests updated to assert the corrected reference format; all 114 pass.

Root cause verified against svrooij/ContentPrep Packager.cs + ApplicationInfo.cs
(open-source C# reference implementation of IntuneWinAppUtil.exe).

"""
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.
Detection.xml format matches the reference IntuneWinAppUtil.exe output exactly:
- ToolVersion is an XML *attribute* on <ApplicationInfo> (not a child element)
- No xmlns namespace declaration (reference uses [XmlRoot("ApplicationInfo")] with no namespace)
- No <?xml ...?> declaration header (reference uses OmitXmlDeclaration=true)
- No <MacAlgorithm> element (not present in reference FileEncryptionInfo model)
