# Build this module's native helper for every macOS architecture it ships —
# ../bin/spl-capture-macos-arm64 and ../bin/spl-capture-macos-x86_64 —
# from spl-capture.swift beside this script. Run it on any Mac with the
# Xcode command line tools; both architectures cross-compile from either.
# The binaries are committed: a machine running ProdDash never builds
# anything (docs/MODULE-GUIDE.md, "Native helpers").
#
# Signed with a Developer ID Application certificate when one is installed
# (override with CODESIGN_IDENTITY) — hardened runtime plus the audio-input
# entitlement, which a helper that reads a microphone needs under the
# hardened runtime — and ad-hoc otherwise, which is fine on your own Macs.
#
# Windows is not built here: there is no Windows implementation of this
# tool yet, so on Windows the module reports measurement off.
