Wattle Notes 0.1.12 — macOS, Linux and Windows alpha

Google sign-in is built into the macOS, Linux and Windows downloads, using the same production Desktop OAuth client. Users do not need to create a Google Cloud client or import configuration.

• macOS Apple Silicon: download the ZIP, or use Settings → App updates to install numeric version 0.1.12.
• Linux x64: download the DEB package.
• Windows x64: download the EXE installer or MSI package.
• Standard native release build commands now require Google configuration. Each packaged platform passes a check for the intended client parameters in its compiled executable.

The app is named Wattle Notes. Legacy new_notes_id Markdown fields, org.newnotes.desktop app/credential identity and saved theme preference keys are deliberately retained so this update preserves existing note identities, settings, credentials and sync history. Do not rename those fields manually; changing persisted identities needs a tested migration across app versions.

The existing updater signing key and signed-version verification remain unchanged. Automatic signed updates currently serve macOS Apple Silicon; update Windows and Linux manually from this release. The Mac bundle is ad-hoc signed, not Apple Developer ID signed or notarized. Windows installers are unsigned. Platform signing/trust warnings may apply. Packaged Windows/Linux interactive Google sign-in, restart, sync and restore acceptance remain pending; successful builds verify configuration rather than live authorization.

Validation: 105 frontend, 20 Node, nine archive verifier and 52 core integration checks passed locally, with lint, formatting and the dependency security gate. All five source CI jobs and both configured Linux/Windows packaging jobs passed, including native tests, strict Clippy and browser checks. Release artifact sizes, hashes, source identity and Mac updater signatures are verified before publication. No personal notebooks, user tokens or settings are bundled.

Mostly vibe coded with AI assistance. Matching source is GPL-3.0-or-later. Website files, private build inputs, AGENTS.md and local continuity files are excluded from source and app archives.
