Observations
Date: July 21, 2026
- 🟢 (12:57) User said "let's go" — approval to proceed with cleanup PR for removing redundant
scripts/notarize.cjs afterSign path in Spotlight electron app.
- 🟡 (12:57) Assistant inspected current notarization wiring: electron-builder.cjs configures mac target (appId "io.sentry.spotlight", productName "Spotlight") with afterSign set to "scripts/notarize.cjs" when CSC_LINK/CSC_KEY_PASSWORD are set; scripts/notarize.cjs calls @electron/notarize's notarize() using APPLE_API_KEY_ID, APPLE_API_KEY, APPLE_API_ISSUER env vars.
- 🟡 (12:57) Investigation hypothesis: notarization fires twice — once via afterSign script (scripts/notarize.cjs) and once via app-builder-lib's internal auto-notarize (env-var triggered). Proposed fix: remove scripts/notarize.cjs and its afterSign wiring, rely solely on internal auto-notarize (previously verified working in CI run 29828172734), then drop unused @electron/notarize devDependency.
- 🟡 (12:57) Assistant verified internal auto-notarize path by inspecting node_modules source for app-builder-lib@26.15.7: macPackager.js:318 calls
await this.helper.notarizeIfProvided(appPath) in sign(), and macOptions.d.ts:207 documents that setting APPLE_API_KEY, APPLE_API_KEY_ID, and APPLE_API_ISSUER env vars auto-triggers notarization.
- 🟡 (12:57) Note: a line "// mas always first" followed by "await this.packMasTargets(...)" appeared in tool output — this is a source-code comment from app-builder-lib's macPackager.js (MAS targets are packed before non-MAS targets), not a user statement or preference.
- 🔴 [enforced-workflow] (12:57) Assistant set up a 6-item todo list before making changes: 1. Create branch off latest main for notarize cleanup (in_progress), 2. Remove afterSign wiring from electron-builder.cjs, 3. Delete dead scripts/notarize.cjs, 4. Remove unused @electron/notarize devDep from package.json, 5. pnpm install + build verify, 6. Commit, push, open PR.
- 🟡 (12:57) Assistant paused before deleting anything to re-verify the "notarizes twice" claim, noting internal path and script may expect env vars differently (internal: APPLE_API_KEY as .pem path; script: also APPLE_API_KEY per current workflow config).
- 🟡 (12:57) Assistant checked GitHub Actions workflow build.yml lines 392-394: electron-mac job exports APPLE_API_ISSUER, APPLE_API_KEY_ID, and APPLE_API_KEY=/tmp/apple_key.pem.
- 🟡 (12:57) Assistant reviewed logs from green CI run 29828172734 (Build Electron App (macOS) step): found exactly 2 "notarization successful" log lines — one per architecture, x64 at 2026-07-21T12:03:09.13Z and arm64 at 2026-07-21T12:06:53.03Z — not 4 as would be expected if both the afterSign script and internal path both notarized each arch.
- 🟡 (12:57) Assistant reasoning: the "notarization successful" log line originates from electron-builder's internal path (log.info in macPackager); the afterSign script (scripts/notarize.cjs) uses @electron/notarize's notarize() directly and does not emit that exact log line, so the log evidence is ambiguous as to whether the afterSign script actually ran/notarized in the green run. Assistant planned to further verify whether the afterSign hook was invoked at all before finalizing the "redundant double notarization" conclusion.
