+# Builds the macOS universal DMG (Apple silicon + Intel) on a GitHub-hosted Mac runner.
+#
+# Added for the table-slicers branch so a macOS build can be produced without a Mac: a .dmg
+# can't be built on Windows/Linux (it needs Apple-only tools: lipo, codesign, hdiutil, iconutil).
+#
+# No signing secrets are used, so packaging/macos/package.sh signs the app AD-HOC and skips
+# notarization. Gatekeeper will warn on first open; right-click the app > Open, or run
+# `xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/GridCraft.app` after installing.
+#
+# Run it: Actions tab > "macOS build" > Run workflow. The DMG is uploaded as a build artifact.
