Looks like the CLI binary is not code-signed. I opened an upstream issue: schuyler/macdown3000#238 |

## Summary Add explicit code signing for the `macdown` CLI binary in the release workflow to ensure it passes Homebrew Cask's signature verification. ### Changes 1. **New "Sign CLI binary explicitly" step** (after build, before verification): - Signs CLI binary at `Contents/SharedSupport/bin/macdown` - Uses `--force --options runtime --timestamp` flags - Re-signs app bundle to update code signature seal 2. **Enhanced "Verify code signature" step**: - Verifies CLI binary signature with `codesign -vvv --strict` - Verifies Developer ID signing identity - Verifies hardened runtime flag is present 3. **Enhanced "Verify app bundle inside DMG" step**: - Verifies CLI binary exists in DMG - Verifies signature and Developer ID - Verifies hardened runtime flag ### Why this is needed The `CodeSignOnCopy` attribute in Xcode only performs basic code signing without hardened runtime or secure timestamp, which is insufficient for Homebrew Cask/Gatekeeper requirements. ## Related Issue Related to #238 ## Manual Testing Plan ### Phase 1: Workflow Verification - Trigger release workflow with a test tag - Verify workflow completes without errors in CLI signing steps ### Phase 2: Code Signature Verification ```bash # Verify CLI binary after mounting DMG CLI_PATH="/Volumes/MacDown 3000/MacDown 3000.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/macdown" codesign -vvv --strict "$CLI_PATH" codesign -dvv "$CLI_PATH" 2>&1 | grep "Authority=" # Should show Developer ID codesign -dvv "$CLI_PATH" 2>&1 | grep "flags=" # Should contain "runtime" ``` ### Phase 3: Homebrew Cask Verification - Update the Homebrew Cask PR at Homebrew/homebrew-cask#242810 - Verify CI passes code signing checks ## Review Notes - **Groucho (Architecture)**: Recommended adding explicit signing step after build with `--options runtime --timestamp` - **Chico (Code Review)**: Identified critical path issue (SharedSupport vs MacOS) and need to re-sign app bundle; both issues fixed - **Harpo (Docs)**: No documentation updates needed - existing docs describe signing at appropriate level - **Zeppo (Testing)**: Provided comprehensive manual testing plan for verifying signatures --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <[email protected]>

@bevanjkay Oops I mistaken macdown for macdown-3000. The unsigned binary is in macdown, not macdown-3000. Considering macdown has no commit in the past five years. It is effectively abandoned despite no official acknowledgement. I marked it as deprecated. |
