brew bump-cask-pr amethyst-nostr \

# 2. Fill in the cask body, then audit as a NEW cask (stricter than a bump)
brew audit --new --cask amethyst-nostr
brew install --cask amethyst-nostr # verify it actually installs
brew uninstall --cask amethyst-nostr
# 3. Open the PR against Homebrew/homebrew-cask by hand

The DMG **must be notarized and stapled** or Homebrew will reject it; verify
with `spctl -a -t open --context context:primary-signature -v <dmg>` before
submitting.
The cask filename is `amethyst-nostr` (not `amethyst` — that's taken by a
tiling window manager). After the first PR is merged, `bump-homebrew.yml`
auto-submits new version bumps on each stable release.
