Ship Desktop

End-to-end local install of the Agent Native Electron app. Produces a signed, un-notarized arm64 DMG on Steve's Mac when the Builder Developer ID certificate is available. Stable local signing is required so Electron Safe Storage does not ask for Keychain access again after every rebuild. If no signing identity is installed, fall back to an ad-hoc build and warn that saved-provider access may prompt again.

When to use

  • "Rebuild and install the desktop app"
  • "Ship the desktop app locally"
  • After touching anything under packages/desktop-app/
  • After bumping a dependency that affects the shell (main/preload/renderer)

Pre-flight

ls packages/desktop-app/package.json      # sanity: we're at framework root
pgrep -f "/Applications/Agent Native.app" # note if it's currently running
