ReleasePort's take
Light signalThe release adds macOS as a first‑class platform and removes `unsafe-eval` from the main renderer's CSP, sandboxing Butterchurn.
Why it matters: Security severity of 90 eliminates dynamic JavaScript evaluation in the renderer; all platforms now support Apple Silicon and Intel builds.

Full changelog
Production-ready & special. macOS becomes a first-class platform, CI lands as a safety net, the deferred Butterchurn unsafe-eval CSP gap is closed (release gate green again), the visualizer gains a GPU particle engine + capture/share, NewAmp Wrapped ships as the hero shareable, and a local-first social/profile foundation arrives. Every feature ships with a smoke wired into CI.
