fix(desktop,release): sign the WidgetKit extension with the Developer ID - #5345
Conversation
… of ad-hoc The Tauri bundler copies macOS.files into the bundle and never signs them: copy_custom_files_to_bundle writes PlugIns/OpenCodexWidget.appex and does not add it to sign_paths, which only holds Contents/MacOS, Contents/Frameworks and the .app itself, and there is no --deep in that path. Whatever signature this script leaves is the signature that ships, and it left an ad-hoc one whenever MACOS_SIGN_IDENTITY did not reach it. macOS does not register an extension signed that way, and notarization rejects any Mach-O in the bundle without the hardened runtime. Resolve the identity before the Swift build, so a release holding Developer ID material that somehow has no identity fails in a second rather than after a universal build, and never leaves a half-built unsigned appex behind. WIDGET_SIGN_REQUIRED=1 turns the ad-hoc fallback into a refusal; the fallback stays for local builds and now carries the hardened runtime too. Sign every Mach-O the bundle actually contains, chosen by magic bytes rather than by name. Today that is one file. A suffix filter is what fails silently when it stops being one: a helper tool or an embedded dylib has no extension to match, stays unsigned, and the submission comes back "not signed with a valid Developer ID certificate" while the containing bundle looks correct. The script then re-reads its own signature and fails if the runtime flag is absent. That check captures codesign output instead of piping it, because under pipefail a matcher that exits on its first hit kills codesign with SIGPIPE and the assertion fails on exactly the signatures it was written to accept.
MACOS_SIGN_IDENTITY was set only on Build desktop bundles, the step after the widget is built, so Build WidgetKit extension ran with no signing environment at all and the script always took its ad-hoc branch. Pass the identity there, and require it whenever the run holds a certificate so a signed release cannot quietly ship an ad-hoc extension. codesign resolves an identity through the keychain search list and Tauri does not build its own keychain until the bundling step, so import the certificate into a temporary keychain first; Tauri re-adds itself to the same search list, so the two do not collide, and a cleanup step removes the keychain on any outcome.
Covers the wiring that was missing rather than the code that was wrong: the widget build step carrying an identity, the certificate import preceding it, the keychain cleanup running on any outcome, the magic-byte sweep, the hardened runtime and the script's own check of it, and the refusal to ad-hoc sign a release widget.

In the macOS package-desktop job, any failure during certificate decoding, import, partition-list setup, or search-list setup exits under set -e before this line writes WIDGET_SIGNING_KEYCHAIN; the later always() cleanup therefore sees an empty variable and skips, potentially leaving the decoded .p12 or a keychain containing the Developer ID private key on disk until runner teardown. Publish the cleanup path before the first fallible command and independently trap removal of the certificate file so failure paths clean both artifacts. This release workflow handles credentials, and repository policy treats secret exposure as a release blocker.

Requesting changes after explicit release/workflow security review of exact head e9ded746e0b1e606adbb9684444d6d81d831c1ae.
The signing direction and the fail-closed widget contract are valuable, and the diff does not broaden triggers, permissions, action pins, or release eligibility. Three credential-handling blockers remain in .github/workflows/release.yml / desktop/scripts/build-widget.sh:
- The macOS job decodes the certificate with
base64 --decode. The BSD/usr/bin/base64on GitHub macOS runners uses-D; the long GNU option is not portable and can fail before the signing identity is imported. Use the existing repository-compatible macOS decode form. - Cleanup is registered too late.
WIDGET_SIGNING_KEYCHAINis appended toGITHUB_ENVonly after decode, keychain creation, import, partition-list setup, and search-list mutation all succeed. Any earlier failure leaves the temporary keychain and/or decoded.p12outside thealways()cleanup path until runner teardown. Publish both cleanup paths before the first fallible operation, have the cleanup step remove the certificate as well as the keychain, and cover failure-before-import in the workflow contract test. - On a runtime-flag verification failure,
build-widget.shprints the completecodesign --display --verbose=4output. That output includes Developer ID authority andTeamIdentifier, exposing an Apple account identifier in public Actions logs. Keep the raw description in memory for the assertion, but emit only a generic or narrowly filtered diagnostic on failure.
Please fix all three on a replacement head and rerun exact-head hosted CI. The inside-out signing logic, hardened-runtime requirement, ad-hoc local fallback, and release refusal otherwise look sound.

Security Misconfiguration
Reachability: Internal

CWE: CWE-693
Validate the imported Developer ID identity in its own keychain.
security import does not establish that the temporary keychain contains a usable codesigning identity. build-widget.sh passes MACOS_SIGN_IDENTITY to codesign without a keychain restriction, so the user search list can resolve another identity if the imported .p12 lacks the matching private key.
Expose APPLE_SIGNING_IDENTITY in the import step and fail when the temporary keychain does not report that identity:

Require a Developer ID identity when signing is required.
WIDGET_SIGN_REQUIRED=1 rejects an empty identity, but it accepts an Apple Development identity. That identity can pass the current codesign --verify and hardened-runtime checks while producing a release widget that cannot satisfy the Developer ID notarization contract.
Reject non-Developer-ID identities before assigning sign_identity. The documented value already uses the Developer ID Application: form.

Bind each widget-signing assertion to the existing signing commands.
The current substring checks can pass if the configured identity is not used by the Mach-O codesign command, if the certificate is imported into the wrong keychain, or if --options runtime remains only on the outer bundle-signing command.
Assert the exact workflow expressions. Match security import "$certificate" -k "$keychain" and the security list-keychain update to the temporary keychain. Match the member-signing command to --sign "$sign_identity" --options runtime. The member-signing assertion is independent of temporary-keychain validation. The current workflow has no security find-identity command, so do not require an assertion for a command that does not exist.

dev is red on tests/ci-workflows/release-desktop-scripts.test.ts. The case locating the certificate import keyed on the step name "Import the Apple signing certificate for the widget", which is the name #5345 proposed. #5339 landed the same import first under the name "Import the release signing certificate", and the conflict resolution that merged #5345 correctly kept dev's workflow and dev's stricter import while carrying #5345's test text forward. The subject of the assertion is still present and still correct; only the label it searched for is gone, so indexOfStep returned -1. Locate the import and the cleanup by the codesign keychain commands they run instead of by their titles, which is what the case actually cares about and what a rename cannot silently take away. The p12 assertion moves to the trap dev's step installs, which is stronger than the plain deletion it replaces because it also fires when a later command in the step fails.
Summary
The macOS app would have installed with no widget, and nothing in the build would have said so.
macOS.filesindesktop/src-tauri/tauri.conf.jsonputsPlugIns/OpenCodexWidget.appexinto the bundle. The Tauri bundler copies it and never signs it:copy_custom_files_to_bundlein tauri-bundler 2.5.0 writes the file and does not add it tosign_paths, which only ever holdsContents/MacOS,Contents/Frameworksand the.appitself, and there is no--deepanywhere in that path. Whatever signaturebuild-widget.shleaves is therefore the signature that ships.It left an ad-hoc one. The script's signing branch keys on
MACOS_SIGN_IDENTITY, and the release workflow set that variable only onBuild desktop bundles— the step after the widget is built.Build WidgetKit extensioncarried noenv:block at all, so the script always took itscodesign --force --sign -fallback, with--timestamp=noneand no hardened runtime. macOS does not register an extension signed that way, and notarization rejects any Mach-O in a bundle that lacks the hardened runtime.This has not hurt anyone yet. No release has shipped a macOS app — v2.58, v2.59 and v2.60 all carry zero desktop assets — and the
APPLE_*secrets were added to the repository hours after the last release ran, so the signed branch of this script has never executed. The next release is where it would have landed.The fix
The script resolves its signing identity before the Swift build. A run that holds Developer ID material and somehow has no identity now fails in a second instead of after a universal build, and never leaves a half-built unsigned appex behind — the previous ordering did exactly that when the refusal fired.
WIDGET_SIGN_REQUIRED=1makes refusal the behaviour whenever the workflow holds a certificate; the ad-hoc branch stays for local builds and now carries the hardened runtime too, so the two paths differ only in who signed.Signing walks every Mach-O the bundle actually contains, chosen by magic bytes rather than by name. Today that set is one file. A suffix filter is the thing that fails silently when that stops being true: a helper tool or an embedded dylib carries no extension to match, stays unsigned, and the submission comes back
The binary is not signed with a valid Developer ID certificatewhile the containing bundle looks perfectly signed. Every signature carries--options runtime, and the script then re-reads its own result and fails if the runtime flag is missing.That self-check captures codesign output instead of piping it into a matcher. Under
set -o pipefail, a matcher that exits on its first hit kills codesign with SIGPIPE, and the check fails on exactly the signatures it was written to accept — which it did on the first draft of this change.The workflow imports the certificate into a temporary keychain before the widget is built, because codesign resolves an identity through the keychain search list and Tauri does not build its own keychain until the bundling step. Tauri reads the current search list and re-adds itself to it, so the two keychains do not collide, and a cleanup step deletes ours on any outcome.
Verification
