Add build-maccatalyst and deploy-maccatalyst jobs to release-apps.yml, mirroring the existing iOS TestFlight pipeline. The Mac Catalyst build produces a signed .pkg and uploads it via the same apple-actions/upload-testflight-build action. Add Entitlements.AppStore.plist with sandbox enabled (required by TestFlight/App Store) plus temporary exceptions for ~/.polypilot/ and ~/.copilot/ read-write access. The existing Entitlements.plist with sandbox disabled is it continues to be used by theunchanged Developer ID / Homebrew distribution in build.yml. New secrets required: - MACCATALYST_CERTIFICATE_BASE64 (Apple Distribution cert, p12) - MACCATALYST_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD - MACCATALYST_CODESIGN_KEY (signing identity name) - MACCATALYST_PROVISIONING_PROFILE_BASE64 (.provisionprofile) - MACCATALYST_PROVISIONING_PROFILE_NAME - MACCATALYST_INSTALLER_SIGNING_KEY (3rd Party Mac Developer Installer) New environment: maccatalyst-release Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
Mac Catalyst uses the same Apple Distribution certificate and App Store Connect provisioning profile as iOS. Replace the 6 separate MACCATALYST_* secrets with the existing IOS_* secrets and drop the maccatalyst-release environment requirement.

Adds Mac Catalyst as a TestFlight target alongside existing iOS and Android pipelines in release-apps.yml. The Developer ID / Homebrew distribution in build.yml is untouched.
