Digital signatures for precompiled binaries in the release artifacts #3501

Description

@taylor-madeak

This isn't really a feature request for the application itself, but more of a request to update the release artifacts.

It's 2026 and enforcement of digitally signed code requirements is steadily increasing. Windows Defender prompts the user with a scary "Unknown Publisher" warning when attempting to run unsigned executables and installers, macOS Gatekeeper will straight-up block it with SIP, and even certain Nix distros (e.g. Solaris, Gentoo) can be configured to block execution of unsigned code. This problem is exacerbated when an organization's Enterprise Security Office gets involved, as we often see tools like Carbon Black App Control, Cortex XDR, and BeyondTrust EPM in use on enterprise managed devices.

The point I'm trying to make is: code signing is good, it's easy, and it's free.

I realize that's a lot of links in a row. I promise this isn't an ad, I'm just trying to use this extension on my work laptop without having to bug the ESO to unblock it every time it updates. 😐

Please sign your pre-compiled binary releases artifacts. 🙏
