Apple could not verify “dsc” is free of malware

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

Apple doesn't like binaries not notarized so ./dsc will not launch on MacOS. This is after downloading the release files via github.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

From Claude:

This error message is appearing because macOS's security features (Gatekeeper) are preventing the DSC executable from running because it hasn't been notarized by Apple. This is a common security protection on newer macOS versions.

Here's how to resolve this issue:

Method 1: Using System Preferences (recommended)

1. Instead of clicking "Move to Trash", click "Done"
2. Open System Preferences (or System Settings on newer macOS)
3. Go to "Security & Privacy" or "Privacy & Security"
4. In the "General" tab, you should see a message about "dsc" being blocked
5. Click "Allow Anyway" or "Open Anyway"
6. Try running the DSC command again, and you'll get a prompt asking if you're sure - click "Open"

Method 2: Using Terminal to bypass Gatekeeper for this specific app

1. Open Terminal
2. Run the following command (assuming the DSC tool is in your downloads folder):

   xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/dsc
   

   Replace "/path/to/dsc" with the actual path to the DSC executable

Method 3: Temporarily reduce security settings (not recommended)

If you're still having issues, you can temporarily allow apps from anywhere:

1. Open Terminal
2. Run: sudo spctl --master-disable
3. Use the app
4. Re-enable security: sudo spctl --master-enable

The first method is usually the safest and most straightforward. After allowing the app once, you shouldn't see this warning again for this particular application.
