macOS install note

The app isn’t signed with an Apple Developer ID yet, so macOS may call a downloaded build “damaged” — it’s Gatekeeper quarantine, not a bad file. After moving the app to Applications, clear the flag once, then open normally:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/OpenHands Agent Canvas.app"

Signing + notarization is tracked in OpenHands/OpenHands#16774.
