Merge pull request 'ci: build on the shared ci-workflows macOS workflow (build only)' (#2) from ci/shared-macos into master

The background closures in ExceptionsTab.applyContent and
ExceptionEditorView.resolveHeaderAsync captured row/self strongly while the
inner main-queue closure asked for weak; Xcode 27's Swift diagnoses the
mismatch (#ImplicitStrongCapture), an error under warnings-as-errors. Both
closures now capture weakly, so neither keeps the row or view alive while
the app info resolves.

-**Push CI is fully green** as of 2026-06-16 (run `27634828800`, commit `6070f0cb`). Every owner-secret-independent step passes — Guard A/B/C, commitlint, the genstrings generated-files gate, version compute, `run_tests.sh`, and an **ad-hoc** `build_app.sh`. The entire release tail (notarize / appcast / semantic-release / gh-release / sync-state advance) SKIPS cleanly until the owner adds the Apple/Sparkle secrets — by design (CICD-STATUS bucket A).
+The complete release pipeline ran green end-to-end (run `27643432063`, commit `2f9fac17`): cert import → **signed** `build_app.sh` (Developer ID **`James Maes (2X834TJ5MA)`**) → notarize + staple → appcast→gh-pages → semantic-release → GitHub Release. **[v100.1.0](https://github.com/KofTwentyTwo/CommandTabFree/releases/tag/v100.1.0)** is published; the downloaded asset verifies `spctl` = "accepted, source=Notarized Developer ID" and `stapler validate` passes (offline-clean, no quarantine prompt). Non-release pushes stay green via the ad-hoc `build_app.sh` path (run `27634828800`).
 
-Two fixes landed this session:
-1. **`fix(l10n)` `d1e1b296`** — regenerated the base `resources/l10n/Localizable.strings` from source. It had drifted after the About redesign + brand sweep; the gate regenerates via `genstrings` and diffs (the file is a pure generated mirror — keys ARE the English source literals, so it can't be hand-branded). The diff was verified byte-for-byte against CI's own Xcode 26.0.1 genstrings output before pushing. Attribution preserved (it's in the source, not hand-edited). Dead paywall strings stay upstream-branded (merge-surface minimal).
-2. **`fix(ci)` `6070f0cb`** — the Release build was inheriting upstream's Developer ID (`Developer ID Application: Louis Pontoise (QXD7GW8FHY)`, in `config/release.xcconfig:5`) and failing on CI with exit 65 (no such cert). `build_app.sh` now forwards xcodebuild overrides (`"$@"`), and `ci_cd.yml` builds **ad-hoc** (`CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY=- CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED=NO OTHER_CODE_SIGN_FLAGS=--timestamp=none`) when the release gate is not signing-ready. Auto-switches to signed when the owner provisions the cert AND sets the fork Developer ID in `config/local.xcconfig` (currently commented, lines 45-50).
+**How signing is wired:** `config/local.xcconfig` sets `CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY` + `CODE_SIGN_STYLE = Manual` + `TEAM_ID 2X834TJ5MA`; the vendored Sparkle helpers (`vendor/Sparkle/Helpers/*`) are committed **re-signed** under the same Developer ID; `setup_ci_master.sh` imports the cert with an optional `APPLE_P12_PASSWORD`. The release secrets (`APPLE_P12_CERTIFICATE`/`APPLE_P12_PASSWORD`/`APPLE_ID`/`APPLE_PASSWORD`/`APPLE_TEAM_ID` + `SPARKLE_ED_PRIVATE_KEY`) are set in the `production` env. Getting here also required two CI fixes earlier this session: `d1e1b296` (regenerate base `Localizable.strings` to clear the genstrings gate) and `6070f0cb` (ad-hoc build until the cert existed).
 
-**Owner-gated next steps (NOT automatable; details in EXECUTION-STATUS §3.3–3.5 + CICD-STATUS.md bucket C):** Apple Developer ID → `APPLE_P12_CERTIFICATE`/`APPLE_ID`/`APPLE_PASSWORD`/`APPLE_TEAM_ID` in the `production` env (unblocks signed+notarized releases) **and** set `CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY` in `config/local.xcconfig`; real `DOMAIN`/appcast host to replace `fork.invalid`; `SYNC_BOT_TOKEN` (auto upstream-sync PRs); external cron for `upstream_sync.yml`. The 3 sync labels (`sync`/`conflict`/`chokepoint-refresh`) were created this session. Already set: `SPARKLE_ED_PRIVATE_KEY` + `production` env + Sparkle public key in Info.plist.
+**Auto-update is LIVE (shipped in v100.2.0):** `DOMAIN = koftwentytwo.github.io/CommandTabFree`, `SUEnableAutomaticChecks = true`, the in-tree `appcast.xml` skeleton removed + gitignored. GitHub Pages serves `https://koftwentytwo.github.io/CommandTabFree/appcast.xml` (gh-pages branch, published by `update_appcast.sh`); the feed carries v100.1.0 + v100.2.0 enclosures. A kof22.com custom domain can be added later (GitHub redirects the github.io URL — no broken builds). **Homebrew cask** bumped to v100.2.0 + quarantine-strip postflight dropped (`KofTwentyTwo/homebrew-tap`). **Release-gate decoupled:** the sign/notarize/release apparatus is gated on a `will-release` signal (empty `VERSION.txt` ⇒ no release), so docs/ci pushes build+test without cutting a release or needing `[skip ci]` (ci_cd.yml).

 ## What this is
@@ -22,8 +24,8 @@ Two fixes landed this session:
 - De-paywall + anti-relock tests + frozen identity (`com.koftwentytwo.commandtabfree`) + brand sweep + ⌘⇥ icon (final) — all on **`master`** (was `depaywall-free`, fast-forward merged, HEAD `c7d2d968`, pushed to origin; source is public for GPL §6).
 - **Sparkle EdDSA keypair generated.** Public key in `Info.plist` (`SUPublicEDKey`); private key in 1Password item **"CommandTabFree-Sparkle-EdDSA"** + GitHub Actions secret `SPARKLE_ED_PRIVATE_KEY` (env `production`); keychain account `commandtabfree`. `SUEnableAutomaticChecks=false` until a real appcast host exists. This fixed the launch-time "updater failed to start" alert.
 - **Public release v100.0.3** (pre-release, **unsigned / not notarized**, universal x86_64+arm64) — ⌘⇥ menu-bar icon, redesigned About (KofTwentyTwo identity + AltTab attribution links), and a **full l10n rebrand** (product name → CommandTabFree across base/en + all ~20 translated languages; upstream attribution kept). Earlier v100.0.0/v100.0.1/v100.0.2 superseded.
-- **Homebrew tap live:** `brew install --cask koftwentytwo/tap/commandtabfree` (`KofTwentyTwo/homebrew-tap` → `Casks/commandtabfree.rb`). Cask strips the quarantine (postflight `xattr`) for the unsigned app.
-- **CI/CD wired** (GitHub Actions), **fully green on push** (run `27634828800`, commit `6070f0cb`). Passing: Guard A/B/C, commitlint, generated-files gate, version compute, `run_tests.sh`, ad-hoc `build_app.sh`. The sign/notarize/appcast/semantic-release/gh-release tail is gated on a `release-gate` step that **auto-activates** when `APPLE_*` secrets are added (so missing secrets SKIP, not fail). Fixed this session (2026-06-16): regenerated base `Localizable.strings` to clear the genstrings gate; build ad-hoc until the owner provisions the Apple cert (was inheriting upstream's Developer ID → exit 65). Earlier this session: Guard B grep now matches the shipped `guard false else { return .pro }` patch (was checking the PLAN's never-shipped `if false`/`alt-tab-free [depaywall]` form); `update_appcast.sh` → `--ed-key-file`; commitlint sync-merge `ignores`; dropped upstream-only scripts (AppCenter/website); commit headers must be ≤72 chars. Full status: `docs/CICD-STATUS.md`.
+- **Homebrew tap live:** `brew install --cask koftwentytwo/tap/commandtabfree` (`KofTwentyTwo/homebrew-tap` → `Casks/commandtabfree.rb`). Cask strips the quarantine (postflight `xattr`) — was needed for the unsigned v100.0.x; now that v100.1.0 is notarized, drop that postflight and bump the cask.
+- **CI/CD wired** (GitHub Actions), **fully green on push** (run `27634828800`, commit `6070f0cb`).

The sign/notarize/appcast/semantic-release/gh-release tail is gated on a `release-gate` step that **auto-activates** when `APPLE_*` secrets are added — secrets were added 2026-06-16 and the **full tail is now proven** (signed+notarized **v100.1.0**, run `27643432063`). Fixed this session (2026-06-16): regenerated base `Localizable.strings` to clear the genstrings gate; build ad-hoc until the owner provisions the Apple cert (was inheriting upstream's Developer ID → exit 65).

Full status: `docs/CICD-STATUS.md`.
 - **Local daily driver installed:** `/Applications/CommandTabFree.app` = **Release** build (no QA menu) signed with the `Local Self-Signed` cert (stable signature → no TCC re-grant loop). Remaining: user grants Accessibility + Screen Recording on first launch.

 # TODO — CommandTabFree
 
-_Updated 2026-06-16. Push CI is fully green. Everything below is **OWNER-GATED** — no agent can do these (they need Apple credentials, DNS/hosting, or tokens). Full detail: `docs/CICD-STATUS.md` bucket C, `docs/EXECUTION-STATUS.md` §3._
+_Updated 2026-06-16. The **publishing pipeline + auto-update are LIVE** — **v100.2.0** released (signed, notarized, Gatekeeper-accepted, auto-updating). The only substantial remaining work is upstream-sync automation. Full detail: `docs/CICD-STATUS.md`, `docs/EXECUTION-STATUS.md` §3._
 
-## Blocking the full publishing pipeline (signed/notarized releases + auto-update)
-- [ ] **Apple Developer ID** — obtain a "Developer ID Application" cert for the fork; base64 it into secret `APPLE_P12_CERTIFICATE`; re-sign vendored `vendor/Sparkle/Helpers/*` under the same ID (PLAN §3.3).
-- [ ] **Set `CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY`** in `config/local.xcconfig` (lines 45-50, currently commented) to the fork's Developer ID. CI then builds **signed** instead of ad-hoc (the `build app (signed …)` step activates).
-- [ ] **Notarization creds** — `APPLE_ID`, `APPLE_PASSWORD` (app-specific password), `APPLE_TEAM_ID` in the `production` Environment.
-- [ ] **Real `DOMAIN`/appcast host** — replace `fork.invalid` in `config/local.xcconfig`; serve `https://<DOMAIN>/appcast.xml` (gh-pages); `git rm appcast.xml` + gitignore it; flip `SUEnableAutomaticChecks` back on (PLAN §3.2).
+## ✅ Done this session (2026-06-16)
+- [x] **Signed + notarized releases** — Developer ID `James Maes (2X834TJ5MA)`; cert + creds in `production` secrets; `CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY`/Manual/`TEAM_ID` in `config/local.xcconfig`; vendored Sparkle helpers re-signed. Full tail proven (runs `27643432063` v100.1.0, `27647918163` v100.2.0).
+- [x] **Auto-update** — `DOMAIN = koftwentytwo.github.io/CommandTabFree`, `SUEnableAutomaticChecks = true`, in-tree `appcast.xml` removed + gitignored. GitHub Pages serves the gh-pages feed; v100.2.0 ships auto-updating.
+- [x] **Homebrew cask** — bumped to v100.2.0 + quarantine-strip postflight dropped (`KofTwentyTwo/homebrew-tap`).
+- [x] **Release-gate decouple** — sign/notarize/release apparatus gated on a `will-release` signal (empty `VERSION.txt` ⇒ no release); non-release pushes build+test without cutting a release or needing `[skip ci]`.
+- [x] genstrings gate fixed (`d1e1b296`); ad-hoc-until-cert build (`6070f0cb`); `.fork-sync-state` reset to `v11.3.0` + release tail no longer clobbers it; 3 sync labels created.
 
-> When all four land, the release tail (`release-gate` → notarize → appcast → semantic-release → gh-release) flips on automatically — no further code change.
+## Remaining — Upstream-sync automation (owner-gated)
+- [ ] **`SYNC_BOT_TOKEN`** — GitHub App installation token (or fork PAT with contents + pull-requests write). Default `GITHUB_TOKEN` does NOT re-trigger PR checks, so guards never run on the sync PR.
+- [ ] **External cron** — hit `repository_dispatch` (type `upstream-sync`) from an external scheduler (immune to GitHub's 60-day in-repo `schedule:` auto-disable).
+- [ ] **Re-wire the `.fork-sync-state` cursor advance** into the upstream-sync merge flow so it records the synced **UPSTREAM** tag (not the fork release tag) — `upstream_sync.yml` (PLAN §4.2).
 
-## Upstream-sync automation (independent of publishing)
-- [ ] **`SYNC_BOT_TOKEN`** — GitHub App installation token (preferred) or fork PAT with contents + pull-requests write. Default `GITHUB_TOKEN` does NOT re-trigger PR checks, so guards never run on the sync PR (`upstream_sync.yml` fails closed without it).
-- [ ] **External cron** — hit `repository_dispatch` (type `upstream-sync`) from an external scheduler (immune to GitHub's 60-day in-repo `schedule:` auto-disable) (PLAN §4.2).

+## Optional

 ## Mac development
 
 Mac development ecosystem is pretty terrible in general. They keep piling on the tech stacks on top of each other, so you have C APIs, ObjC APIs, Swift APIs, Interface builder, Playgrounds, Swift UI, Mac Catalyst. All these are bridging with each other with a bunch of macros, SDKs glue, compiler flags, compatibility mode, XCode legacy build system, etc. For alt-tab, we are on Swift 5.0. Note that swift just recently started being stable, but overall any change of version breaks a lot of stuff. Swift itself is the mainstream language with the worst governance I’ve seen in modern times.
