fix: releases ship a launchable Mill.app zip, not the raw binary - #86
Merged
Conversation
v0.1.0's asset was task build's raw binary -- not double-clickable (owner hit Finder's no-application dialog on the real download), and browsers strip the exec bit anyway. Release builds now run task package and ship bin/mill.app zipped via ditto (bundle metadata preserved); attestation and checksums cover the zip. Release notes gain install instructions (drag to Applications, right-click-Open first launch for the ad-hoc signature, attestation verify command) with build-from-source as the alternative, not the requirement.

Rides goal 0045 (release cadence/mechanics). v0.1.0 shipped
task build's raw binary — the owner's real download hit Finder's "no application set to open" dialog. Releases now ship what a person can actually use:task package'smill.app, zipped withditto, attested and checksummed, with install instructions prepended to the generated notes.task packageis already proven headless-safe (it ran cleanly on the runner during the backtick incident). v0.1.0 gets a notes-only heads-up; v0.2.0 (gated on goal 0042, whose PR is in CI) will be the first release with the proper asset.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
