+# taOS Mac App build
+
+Build pipeline for the macOS `.app` bundle (Apple Silicon, macOS 26+).
+
+See `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-28-taos-mac-app-c1-design.md` for the full design.
+
+## Quick start
+
+    ./mac/build/build.sh --version 0.1.0 --output dist/
+
+Produces `dist/taOS.app`, `dist/taOS-0.1.0.dmg`, and `dist/taOS-0.1.0.dmg.sig`.
+
+## Layout
+
+- `launcher/` — Swift Package for the native launcher
+- `build/` — shell pipeline (orchestrator + step scripts)
+- `appcast/` — Sparkle appcast.xml + EdDSA public key

+# taOS Mac App — Release Testing Checklist
+
+Run on a fresh macOS 26 install (or a wiped data dir) before tagging a release.
+
+## 1. Fresh install
+
+- [ ] Open `taOS-X.Y.Z.dmg` → drag to Applications.
+- [ ] Right-click `/Applications/taOS.app` → Open → confirm "open" in Gatekeeper dialog.
+- [ ] Status-bar `taOS` icon appears.
+- [ ] First-run wizard opens in **phone-shape mode**.
+- [ ] Setup completes; Dock icon disappears after closing the window.
+
+## 2. Container creation
+
+- [ ] Create a project, add an agent.
+- [ ] Open Terminal: `container ls` shows the new container.
+- [ ] Send chat → response received.
+- [ ] Trace store entry shows `host.containers.internal:4000` reachable.
+
+## 3. Window-mode toggle
+
+- [ ] `Cmd+Shift+M` switches phone ↔ fullscreen.
+- [ ] In fullscreen, `Cmd+Q` is intercepted (no quit).
+- [ ] In fullscreen, `Ctrl+→` moves to the next Space.
+- [ ] In fullscreen, three-finger swipe moves Spaces.
+
+## 4. Quit + relaunch
+
+- [ ] Close window with the red traffic light.
+- [ ] Dock icon hides; status-bar icon stays.
+- [ ] `~/Library/Logs/taOS/server.log` keeps writing.
+- [ ] "Quit taOS" from status bar → graceful shutdown logged → process gone.
+- [ ] Relaunch → restores last window mode + last project.
+
+## 5. Update path
+
+- [ ] Stage a fake v0.1.1 DMG.
+- [ ] Serve a local appcast: `cd staging && python -m http.server 8000`.
+- [ ] In test build, set `SUFeedURL` to `http://127.0.0.1:8000/appcast.xml`.
+- [ ] Sparkle prompts → EdDSA verifies → relaunches at v0.1.1.
+- [ ] Re-run with a tampered DMG → install refused; `~/Library/Logs/taOS/sparkle.log` has a verification-failed entry; app stays on v0.1.0.
+
+## 6. Failure isolation
+
+- [ ] Kill FastAPI from Activity Monitor → status-bar icon goes yellow → "Restart Server" works.
+- [ ] Stop the container daemon → existing containers listed but new creates fail with the documented note → restart daemon → recovers.
+- [ ] Disconnect network → Sparkle silently skips next scheduled check.
+
+## 7. Uninstall
+
+- [ ] Trash `/Applications/taOS.app`.
+- [ ] `~/Library/Application Support/taOS/` untouched.
+- [ ] Reinstall the same DMG → no setup wizard, picks up where it left off.
+- [ ] `brew uninstall --cask --zap taos` (when Cask exists) wipes the four `~/Library/...` dirs.
