Update the stale release-status statement. The earlier Gatekeeper section still says release builds are not notarized because CI lacks signing secrets, which conflicts with the workflow described at Lines [153-156]. Replace that statement with the current Developer ID signing and notarization requirements.

Review comment at @docs/install/macos.md around lines 155 - 156:
Update the stale release-status statement in the Gatekeeper section to reflect
the current Developer ID signing and notarization requirements, consistent with
the workflow and the APPLE_API_KEY, APPLE_API_KEY_ID, and APPLE_API_ISSUER
credentials described nearby.

for all platform credentials and verification gates. An Apple Developer
membership is required; the archived Tauri workflow's `APPLE_CERTIFICATE`

(`NOTARYTOOL_KEYCHAIN_PROFILE`, or `APPLE_API_KEY` + `APPLE_API_KEY_ID` +
`APPLE_API_ISSUER`); otherwise it is skipped with a note.

For local packaging and verification, `APPLE_API_KEY` is the path to the `.p8`
file. In GitHub Secrets, it is the PEM file content; the workflow prepares the
path before invoking electron-builder. The API key authenticates notarization;
the Developer ID certificate and its password still sign the application.

The packaging workflow loads key preparation from its own commit, even when
checking out an older release tag. With complete certificate/API credentials,
it explicitly enables notarization and Hardened Runtime in electron-builder,
so older password-based configuration cannot silently skip notarization.
