…343) Unsigned binaries are killed by Apple's AMFI on Apple Silicon and silently fail to launch on macOS 26.3.1 even after the user clicks "Run Anyway" in Privacy & Security. Add an ad-hoc codesign step after the Wails build so the .app satisfies the minimum code signature requirement. Also remove the stale --no-quarantine Homebrew caveat (flag no longer supported). Full notarization with a Developer ID certificate is tracked as a follow-up.

Summary
Fixes #343 — Radar Desktop silently fails to launch on macOS 26.3.1 (and Apple Silicon in general).
.appbundle. Apple's AMFI terminates unsigned ARM64 binaries (Killed: 9), and newer macOS versions silently ignore "Run Anyway" for unsigned apps.codesign --force --deep --sign -) after the Wails build in the macOS release job. This satisfies the minimum signature requirement so the app can actually launch.--no-quarantinecaveat (Homebrew no longer supports that flag) and updated the message to reflect the current state.Users will still see a Gatekeeper warning on first launch (right-click → Open), but the app will run. Full Developer ID notarization is a follow-up.
