MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.WindowsServices package (v8.0.1)
- Configure host to use Windows Service lifetime management
- Enables proper startup/shutdown when installed via Deploy-PepApi.ps1

Fixes issue where service would fail to start when deployed as Windows Service.
