Sign and notarize macOS release binaries #45

Description

@robbiet480

macOS release binaries are neither code-signed nor notarized. On a managed Mac, Gatekeeper blocks them, so operators have to strip the quarantine attribute by hand.

Wanted: sign and notarize the darwin builds in the release pipeline.

Notes

  • Needs a Developer ID Application certificate and an App Store Connect API key or notarytool credentials, stored as repository secrets — no credentials in the repo.
  • goreleaser supports post-build signing hooks; notarization runs after signing and before the archive is uploaded.
  • Should be validated by downloading a release artifact onto a Jamf-managed Mac and confirming it launches without a Gatekeeper prompt.

Priority: P3
