Calliope: a native macOS client for Muse

Calliope is an unofficial, independent native macOS client for Meta's Muse, shipped as a Developer ID-signed, notarized DMG with Sparkle auto-updates; five releases went out between Sept 13 and 16.

# Calliope — release artifacts only

This repository holds **release artifacts only**. It contains **no source code**.

Calliope is an unofficial, independent native macOS client for Meta's Muse. The
application source, issues, and development history live in a separate, private
repository.

## What is here

Each GitHub Release in this repository carries exactly two assets:

| Asset | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| `appcast.xml` | The Sparkle 2 update feed the shipped app polls |
| `Calliope-<version>.dmg` | The Developer ID-signed, notarized installer |

The shipped app reads its feed from the tag-independent permalink:

```
https://github.com/willsigmon/calliope-releases/releases/latest/download/appcast.xml
```

`releases/latest/download/<asset>` resolves to the newest **non-draft,
non-prerelease** release's asset of that exact name, so the feed URL is stable
across versions and only the asset content changes.

## Why this repository is public

Sparkle's default fetcher sends no credentials. GitHub serves release assets of a
private repository only to authenticated clients, so a feed hosted in the private
source repository returns **HTTP 404** to the app. Publishing the feed here, in a
public repository with no source in it, is what makes it reachable anonymously.

Nothing in this repository is sensitive: the DMG is publicly distributed anyway,
and the appcast carries an Ed25519 signature over the DMG that the app verifies
against the `SUPublicEDKey` baked into the shipped binary. A tampered feed cannot
deliver a forged update.

## Do not

- Do not add source code, secrets, or configuration here.
- Do not make this repository private — that would break auto-update for every
  installed copy.
- Do not rename the release assets; `appcast.xml` in particular is what
  `releases/latest/download/` resolves.

Release mechanics live in the private source repository's `docs/RELEASING.md`.

    Medical bills audited line by line, $4,000 saved★

    Got Muse logged in to my medical provider’s portal, he pulled the itemized bills, and questioned every line. So far he’s found several times I’d been double billed, asked for some discounts and has saved me over $4,000. If your moat is bureaucracy, you’re cooked.
