Summary

Closes #35.

lc (the actual Burrito binary, unsigned/unnotarized) gets blocked by macOS Gatekeeper after download - the wrapper scripts (lcls, etc.) are plain shell so they're unaffected, only the compiled binary itself. Documents the xattr -d com.apple.quarantine fix right after the download instructions in the Readme.

Test plan

  • asciidoctor -o /dev/null Readme.adoc renders clean
