What's new in v1.2.7
21 June 2026
Fixed
- Apple Silicon "app is damaged and can't be opened": the unsigned arm64 build was shipping with `hardenedRuntime: true`, which macOS Gatekeeper rejects outright. Disabled hardened runtime (no benefit without notarization) so the app is ad-hoc signed and opens normally. `INSTALL.md` documents the `xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine` workaround.
- Release workflow no longer fails to load: the "Verify committed icons" step had a `: ` inside an inline `run:` string, which broke the YAML parse so the workflow never ran. Converted both icon-verify steps to block scalars.
Changed
- Splash screen is now light themed (light gradient, dark text, brand-purple spinner) instead of the previous dark theme, with the logo on a white rounded tile for contrast.
