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 #16774.
