 ### Prepare for the macOS download
 
-No macOS 0.1.0 release is currently published. When an official build is available, it will be distributed outside the Mac App Store through [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/rsitech-ai/codebase-combiner/releases) as a Developer ID-signed, Apple-notarized DMG. The candidate is Apple-silicon-only (`arm64`) and declares a macOS 13 deployment target; runtime verification at that floor remains pending. Intel and universal builds are not provided.
