Claude Opus 5andbdeshi 061ae098da Sign builds and releases with a stable code identity
swiftc linker-signs only the inner binary, leaving the bundle unsigned
and its codesign identifier as "launcher" rather than the bundle id. More
importantly it leaves the app ad-hoc signed, and macOS pins an ad-hoc
app's Accessibility grant to its exact cdhash instead of to a designated
requirement. Every build mints a new cdhash, so each rebuild-and-replace
silently revoked the permission while the app stayed listed and ticked
under Privacy & Security — and every release did the same to everyone who
updated. That was the root cause of the window tags never appearing.

- build.sh signs the bundle with its real identifier, honours
  SHANNONCOAT_SIGN_IDENTITY, and fails outright rather than falling back
  to ad-hoc when an identity was asked for explicitly.
- The identity is read from a gitignored .env, so it doesn't have to be
  retyped every build. Parsed rather than sourced, so a stray command in
  the file can't execute as a side effect of building, and so an existing
  environment variable still wins. .env.example carries the full one-time
  setup.
- release.yml imports the certificate into a throwaway keychain, builds,
  verifies, and deletes the keychain on if: always(). It stays inert
  until the three secrets exist, and fails the release rather than
  shipping ad-hoc.
- Guards the empty-password case explicitly: macOS cannot import an
  OpenSSL-produced PKCS#12 with an empty password, and reports it as "MAC
  verification failed (wrong password?)", which sends you hunting for a
  wrong password rather than a missing one. Nothing local catches this,
  since the login keychain imports the PEM pair and needs no password.
- Ignores *.p12 and *.pem as a backstop; the certificate belongs outside
  the working tree entirely.

Verified end-to-end: two from-scratch builds produce byte-identical
designated requirements where ad-hoc differs every time, and six
rebuild-reinstall cycles under a real certificate kept the Accessibility
grant with no System Settings interaction.

This buys permission persistence, not Gatekeeper approval — a
self-signed certificate isn't notarized, so downloads still need
System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Open Anyway.
