macOS: "Tellnova is damaged and can't be opened"

This build is not yet notarized by Apple (no Apple Developer account yet),
so Gatekeeper shows a scary-but-wrong "damaged" message on first launch. The
download is fine. To open it:

  1. Drag Tellnova from the DMG into Applications.

  2. In Terminal, run:

    xattr -cr /Applications/Tellnova.app

  3. Still blocked on Apple Silicon? Add a local ad-hoc signature:

    codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/Tellnova.app

  4. Launch normally. This is a one-time step per fresh install.

No Terminal? After one blocked launch attempt, go to
System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.

xattr -cr only removes macOS's download-quarantine flag; it does not modify
the app. You can verify your download against SHA256SUMS.txt attached below:

shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/Tellnova-*.dmg

Signed and notarized macOS builds are on the roadmap.

What's new in 1.1.5 (completes 1.1.4)

Zero-setup agent runtime

  • Tellnova now ships its own pi agent runtime. No more installing pi, node, or anything else — the app runs its bundled agent through its own binary on every platform. This fixes the family of failures on machines without a terminal-side pi setup: providers showing "connected" in Settings while the model picker stayed empty, and tasks failing with exit 127 / ENOENT.
  • If you had pi installed already, nothing breaks — an explicitly configured pi path still takes precedence, and a system pi is now executed safely even when node isn't on the app's PATH.

New

  • Visible update checks. Every launch runs an update check with live feedback in the corner — checking, download progress, and a "Restart now" action when the update is ready (Discord-style).
  • New app icon. Tellnova finally has its own icon instead of the framework default.
  • The running version is shown at the bottom of the sidebar.

Existing 1.1.x installs update automatically via the built-in updater.
