Releases are now signed with a Developer ID Application certificate and notarized by Apple. The secrets are set, and a local 0.1.7 build passed notarization for both the app and the disk image.

  • Install docs and cask: the "Open Anyway" instructions are gone from the README, docs/getting-started.md and the cask's caveats. Getting started now says that copies up to 0.1.6, signed with the old self-signed certificate, can't install a notarized version themselves and need one download by hand (or brew upgrade).
  • Notarization timeout: Apple took close to half an hour over the first submission, and notarytool's 30-minute wait gave up just before it answered. scripts/release.sh now waits up to 90 minutes per submission, and the release job's limit goes from 75 to 210 minutes to fit both.

Checked locally: swift build --build-tests, swift test (346 tests passed) and the universal scripts/build-app.sh release.

Releases are now signed with a Developer ID Application certificate and
notarized by Apple, so the install docs and the Homebrew cask no longer
tell people to choose Open Anyway. The getting-started page says that
copies up to 0.1.6, signed with the old self-signed certificate, can't
install a notarized version themselves and need one download by hand.

Apple took close to half an hour over the first submission, and
notarytool's 30-minute wait gave up just before it answered, so release.sh
now waits up to 90 minutes for each submission and the release job has
room for both.

…fore saving it

Since GitHub's macOS 26 runners moved to macOS 26.7, zsh sometimes takes
more than 15 seconds to start while the whole suite runs, and different
zsh tests failed from run to run: one timed out waiting for its first
command although the shell ran it a moment later. The wait helpers now
allow 60 seconds when CI is set. They return as soon as their condition
holds, and no test waits for one to time out, so this only costs time
when a test fails.

Keeping panes also had a race of its own: a command's output is kept
once the prompt after it is drawn, which can come just after the pane is
back at the command line, so the test could save the pane before the
output of seq 1 5 was in its timeline. It now waits for that output.
