Add workflow_dispatch trigger to allow manual builds with a specified tag. Include new build-macos job that: - Installs Homebrew dependencies (cmake, create-dmg) - Imports Apple Developer ID certificate for code signing - Configures notarization credentials via notarytool - Builds installer with code signing and notarization enabled - Uploads signed artifacts to GitHub release Signed-off-by: philippe-ynput <philippe@ynput.io>
