Tauri has no App Store target, so mas-package.sh covers the distance between the .app and something
App Store Connect will take. The order is load-bearing: the provisioning profile goes in before
codesign runs because the signature covers it, which is also why Tauri's own signing is switched
off for this build.
The sandbox costs three things, all Apple's rules rather than choices. The updater is gone, and
falls out for free because the plugin was already conditional on the config declaring it; only the
release overlay does. The Check for Updates menu item is gated on the same condition, since a menu
item that errors when clicked is its own rejection risk. The library moves into the container, and
the system spelling dictionary becomes unreadable.
Two things the first upload taught us. The profile is kept owner-only where it lives next to the
signing keys, and cp carried that mode into the bundle; Apple rejects a package containing anything
a non-root user cannot read. And altool exits 0 after printing UPLOAD FAILED, so its exit status
cannot be trusted and the transcript is the only reliable signal.

Move Check for Updates into the macOS app menu and add Settings (Cmd+,),
Save (Cmd+S), Find (Cmd+F), chapter navigation, and a Help > Report an
Issue link. Route new menu actions through menu-action events and trim
duplicate editor keybindings.
The bundled Hunspell dictionary (~49k SCOWL roots) lacked common words like
"cybersecurity", "scalable", and "assistantship", and checked words inside
URLs. On macOS, spelling now uses the system NSSpellChecker (same engine as
TextEdit/Safari): far better vocabulary, skips URLs, and respects words the
user has taught macOS. The custom/tech dictionaries and Harper grammar are
unchanged; non-macOS builds keep the Hunspell fallback.
Add a Typography section to book setup with one-click preset pairings,
an advanced body/heading picker, and a live sample. Enumerate installed
fonts via a new list_system_fonts Tauri command (fontdb) so they appear
alongside the bundled set, with a note that system fonts may not embed
in exports.
