tauri build bundled only the GUI binary, so the packaged app had no daemon:
find_daemon() looks for a sibling `spaceshd` next to the GUI
(Contents/MacOS/spaceshd) and ensure_daemon failed to spawn it → "offline".
(Dev worked only because find_daemon falls back to the repo-root target path.)
- tauri.bundle.conf.json: a build-only overlay adding bundle.externalBin
["bin/spaceshd"], kept out of tauri.conf.json so `tauri dev` doesn't require
a sidecar file.
- Makefile: `make dmg` now builds spaceshd for both arches, lipo's a universal
sidecar into src-tauri/bin/spaceshd-universal-apple-darwin, and passes
--config so it lands in Contents/MacOS/spaceshd. `make dmg-native` does the
host-arch equivalent.
- .gitignore: ignore the generated app/src-tauri/bin/.
After install, the unsigned helper runs once quarantine is cleared recursively:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/spacesh.app
