TidyDrop 1.3.0 Community Preview 2

TidyDrop keeps one folder organized locally. It does not upload file names,
metadata, content, or usage information. Its optional manual Update Center sends
only a bounded, credential-free release-metadata request to the official GitHub
repository after the user presses the button.

Important security notice

This Community Preview is not signed with Apple Developer ID and is not
notarized by Apple. macOS cannot verify the developer identity. Install it only
from this official bugroo/tidydrop GitHub Release.

Do not disable Gatekeeper, remove quarantine attributes, grant Full Disk Access,
or run a remote installation script.

Install

Download TidyDrop-1.3.0-community-preview-macos-universal.dmg below.
Open the DMG and drag TidyDrop.app to Applications.
Try to open TidyDrop once. macOS is expected to block the first launch.
Open System Settings → Privacy & Security and select Open Anyway.
Open TidyDrop and allow its background item and selected folder if macOS asks.
Enable background organization and let TidyDrop verify a safe preview run.
Enable automatic organization only after the preview reports zero errors.

The first run and every update start with automatic moving disabled.

Verify the download

Place the DMG and .sha256 file in the same folder, then run:

shasum -a 256 -c TidyDrop-1.3.0-community-preview-macos-universal.sha256

Contributors with GitHub CLI can also verify that GitHub built the DMG from this
repository:

gh attestation verify \
  TidyDrop-1.3.0-community-preview-macos-universal.dmg \
  --repo bugroo/tidydrop

Build provenance confirms origin; it is not Apple notarization and does not by
itself prove that software is safe.

Included

A native manual Update Center that checks only the official Community channel
after an explicit button press. It never downloads, installs, or rolls back
the application.
Strict release parsing that rejects drafts, malformed tags, wrong channels,
the current version, and downgrades; release navigation is fixed to the
official repository origin.
A native three-pane AppKit workbench for the active folder, activity, ordered
rules, transaction history, inspection, and conservative undo.
A Foundation/CoreServices FSEvents agent that sleeps while idle, reconciles at
startup, and uses one bounded timer only for files still changing.
Background-oriented FSEvents delivery that coalesces bursts instead of using
the interactive NoDefer flag, reducing avoidable wakeups.
A bounded local SQLite activity index written only by the agent and consumed
read-only by the workbench; JSON journals remain authoritative for recovery
and undo.
A Community build-10 migration path from builds 9, 8, 7, 6, and 5 for macOS ad
hoc launch constraints.
Two-phase agent startup: an early diagnostic scan cannot authorize moving;
only a fresh second scan after FSEvents starts reports the watcher ready.
An isolated offline Ed25519 manifest-verification foundation with canonical
parsing, direct no-follow hashing, and replay/downgrade regressions. It is not
connected to the shipping updater until production key custody is approved.
Signed-XPC, security-scoped bookmark, and minimal Sandbox prototypes verified
in tests but deliberately excluded from this ad hoc release until a stable
Developer ID identity is available.
Automatic relaunch verification bound to the exact active folder and a recent
zero-move preview run.
Protection against selecting /Applications, TidyDrop's bundles, symlink
roots, the whole home directory, or other unsafe roots.
Foundation-only background work registered with SMAppService; AppKit remains
in the user-facing process.
Universal 2 binaries for Apple Silicon and Intel.
Dry-run, conservative apply and undo, collision protection, fresh POSIX
metadata snapshots, bounded logs, and local-only file organization.
One active folder at a time, defaulting to Downloads.

Known limitations

macOS can request Open Anyway or Files & Folders approval again after updates.
One folder is active at a time.
Intel hardware still requires an installation test on a physical Intel Mac.
A small residual TOCTOU interval exists between the last metadata check and an
atomic rename.
Update discovery is manual. Automatic installation and application rollback
remain blocked until signed metadata, private staging, external recovery,
agent migration, and TCC gates are implemented and verified.
