| Platform | Desktop | CLI |
| --- | --- | --- |
| macOS Apple Silicon / Intel | DMG | signed binary |
| Windows x64 | signed setup executable and app binaries | signed .exe |
| Linux x64 / ARM64 | setup tarball, unsigned | unsigned |
JetBrains signs the Windows CLI, the desktop setup executable, and every executable and DLL the desktop app installs. The macOS CLI is signed but not yet notarized. Signed and notarized desktop DMGs require the coordinated JetBrains service pipeline; older published DMGs and locally built packages may still be unsigned and blocked by Gatekeeper. Linux artifacts are unsigned.
