Mac preview or Linux package.

The Mac preview is ad-hoc signed while Developer ID notarization is completed. macOS may ask you to approve the app in System Settings → Privacy & Security. The stable application identity keeps its original CaptureVault identifier so existing libraries and Screen Recording permission survive upgrades.
