• 🔴 (12:09) User scheduled follow-up task: "Check the electron-mac (Build Electron App macOS) job status in run 29828172734 on getsentry/spotlight main. Confirm whether notarization now succeeds with the PEM-armor fix. If still running, wait more; if failed, pull the notarize error from logs."
• 🔴 (12:09) System/plan-mode directive restated: assistant must always call plan_exit tool at the very end of its turn to indicate to the user that it is done planning; turn should only end with either asking the user a question or calling plan_exit.
• 🟡 (12:10) [tool:result] GitHub Actions run 29828172734 status: completed / success. Build Electron App (macOS) job: completed / success.
• 🟡 (12:10) Assistant noted job exited success but wanted to confirm notarization actually ran and passed (not just skipped) before declaring the fix verified.
• 🟡 (12:11) [tool:result] Job logs confirmed runner: macos-26-arm64, macOS 26.4 (the exact image that was previously failing). "Setup Apple API Key for Notarization" step script logic: reads APPLE_API_KEY_BUNDLE, base64-decodes to /tmp/apple_key.json, extracts private_key via jq; if body already contains "BEGIN PRIVATE KEY" writes as-is to /tmp/apple_key.pem, else wraps it with "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----"/"-----END PRIVATE KEY-----" armor and 64-col folding; also sets APPLE_API_ISSUER and APPLE_API_KEY_ID env vars from issuer_id/key_id via jq.
• 🟡 (12:11) [tool:result] Build and Sign Electron App step logs: signing identity CA886EB0F2EF765B26CDA592CD42DA4E9C92C916 (platform=darwin, type=distribution, provisioningProfile=none) applied to dist-electron/mac/Spotlight.app (x64) and dist-electron/mac-arm64/Spotlight.app (arm64). "notarization successful" logged for both architectures. DMG outputs built: Spotlight-4.11.7.dmg (x64) and Spotlight-4.11.7-arm64.dmg (arm64), plus blockmap files for each.
• 🟡 [bug-fix] (12:11) Bug: macOS notarization started failing after macos-latest GitHub Actions runner rolled to macOS 26 / Xcode 26.6 on July 21, 2026. Root cause: Xcode 26's notarytool rejects an unarmored (bare base64 DER) private key file; the APPLE_API_KEY secret stores private_key as bare base64 DER, which the workflow previously wrote out verbatim without PEM armor. The key itself was valid and unexpired — issue was purely missing PEM framing, not permissions or expiry. Fix: PR #1334 (getsentry/spotlight), merged as commit 66d991e3 — normalizes the key into proper PEM format (BEGIN/END armor + 64-column wrapping) idempotently in both key-setup steps of build.yml. Verified: adversarial review passed clean, all PR checks green, merged, and confirmed green end-to-end on main via run 29828172734 with "notarization successful" for both x64 and arm64 builds.
• 🟡 (12:11) Assistant noted an optional separate follow-up: bump electron-builder from v24 to v26.15.7. Rationale given: legibility only — would surface Apple's real notarization error instead of a generic SyntaxError; not required now that notarization works. Assistant asked user whether to open that PR or leave it.
