v1.12.4 got the keychain right ("...in keychain [/Users/.../amethyst-signing
.keychain-db]") but createReleaseDistributable still failed with "Could not
find certificate". Different layer of the same problem:
Compose's MacSigner maps its identity to a cert by running `security
find-certificate -c <identity>`, prepending "Developer ID Application: " when
the identity doesn't already start with it. `codesign --sign` (used by the
signMacJarNatives task, which succeeds in the same job) instead matches a
SHA-1 hash OR any common-name substring. So a MAC_SIGN_IDENTITY secret that is
a fingerprint or a team-ID/partial name signs fine with codesign but, once
prefixed by Compose, is not a substring of the cert's common name -> zero
matches -> failure.
Reproduced locally against the real Developer ID cert:
find-certificate -c "Developer ID Application: <TEAMID>" -> 0 matches
find-certificate -c "Developer ID Application: <full CN>" -> 1 match
Fix: import-macos-cert now resolves the certificate's full "Developer ID
Application: NAME (TEAMID)" common name from the keychain (via find-identity)
and exposes it as an `identity` output. The desktop build feeds that to
Compose's signing.identity, falling back to the raw secret if resolution
fails. Independent of whatever form the secret takes. The amy CLI leg keeps
using bare codesign with the secret directly and is unchanged.

The desktop DMG release leg (build-desktop macos, packageReleaseDmg) has never
produced a signed artifact: createReleaseDistributable fails with "Could not
find certificate for '***' in keychain []". This is independent of the v1.12.3
notarization fix, which addressed the separate amy CLI leg.
Root cause: Compose's MacSignerImpl maps the signing identity to a certificate
by running `security find-certificate -a -c <identity>` with no keychain
argument. On the GitHub macOS runners that lookup does not resolve the cert that
import-macos-cert imported into a throwaway keychain and added only to the user
search list — even though bare `codesign --sign` (e.g. the signMacJarNatives
task, which succeeds in the same job) finds it fine. The "keychain []" in the
error is just the null settings.keychain being echoed.
Fix: export the throwaway keychain path from the import-macos-cert action and
feed it to Compose's `signing.keychain` via AMETHYST_MAC_SIGN_KEYCHAIN, so the
certificate lookup searches that keychain directly. Also set it as the default
keychain for good measure. No-op on local/PR builds (env unset -> Compose keeps
its previous default-search-list behavior).

Sign the macOS jlink image (amy-<version>-macos-arm64.tar.gz) so users who
download it directly clear Gatekeeper. Reuses the same Developer ID cert and
the six MAC_* secrets as the desktop DMG; no-op when they're absent.
- .github/actions/import-macos-cert: factor the throwaway-keychain cert import
into a composite action; the desktop leg now uses it too (was inline).
- create-release.yml (build-cli macOS leg): import the cert, then codesign
every Mach-O binary in the bundled JRE (executables get hardened-runtime
entitlements, dylibs don't) and notarize via notarytool --wait. Runs before
the collect step so the tarred image is signed. Job timeout 30->45 min for
notarization headroom.
- cli/packaging/macos/amy.entitlements: hardened-runtime entitlements; the
disable-library-validation key lets the JVM load the secp256k1 native dylib
it extracts from a jar at runtime (would otherwise crash under notarization).
- BUILDING.md: document the tarball signing, the no-stapling/online-check
caveat, and that the Homebrew-core jvm bundle is intentionally left unsigned.
Untested end-to-end (no macOS runner / Apple creds here) — validate with a
workflow_dispatch dry-run once the secrets are provisioned.
