macdeployqt bundles Qt frameworks but not the plain @rpath/*.dylib brew
deps of its image plugins, so a no-Homebrew Mac couldn't load webp. Add a
Qt-safe pass that resolves @rpath/*.dylib (never @rpath/*.framework) from
brew, copies them in, rewrites load paths, and fails the build if any
remain. Sign step now re-signs by Mach-O type (not exec bit) so the
install_name_tool-modified plugins get valid signatures.
The 100%-linked app dynamically referenced brew's libboost_*.dylib, which
macdeployqt failed to bundle — the app would fail to launch on any Mac
without Homebrew (notarization doesn't check runtime dylib resolution).
Static boost matches how guix/depends release builds work and removes the
runtime dependency entirely.
monero's static libs built fine, but the feather target includes monero
headers pulling boost/variant.hpp, and clang doesn't search
/opt/homebrew/include by default (modern BoostConfig leaves
Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS empty).
brew's protobuf pulls Abseil headers that require C++17, breaking the
feather compile (DEVICE_TREZOR_READY gates the protobuf link). Trezor
hardware does not support Wownero, so this removes a useless dependency
rather than working around it — the Linux lane only tolerates it because
its depends system pins an old protobuf.
Dispatch-only workflow in .gitea/workflows (GitHub ignores the
directory): brew dependencies, native cmake build with the embedded
wownerod fetched per-arch, unsigned app bundle artifact. Runs on the
mac runner whose work dir lives on DataSSD and is outside every backup
path. Signing/notarization follows once a Developer ID Application
certificate is provisioned as repo secrets.
