test: validate v1.1.2 on clean Apple Silicon macOS

[bradtaylorsf]

Summary

Run v1.1.2 end to end on a genuinely clean supported Apple Silicon Mac and attach reproducible acceptance evidence.

Proposed Approach

• Use a clean Apple Silicon Mac with at least 16 GB RAM and no checkout or Answer Engine state.
• Download and verify assets anonymously.
• Complete dependency preflight, desktop/runtime launch, consented import, and grounded recall.
• Reboot and verify background recovery.
• Exercise repair, rollback, and uninstall/reinstall.
• Capture redacted evidence.

Acceptance Criteria

• Clean supported hardware and starting state are recorded.
• Assets download and verify anonymously.
• Dependencies are discovered or installed with clear consent.
• Desktop, API/UI, background service, import, and grounded recall succeed.
• Reboot, repair, rollback, and uninstall/reinstall match documentation.
• Evidence contains no secrets or personal content.

Release blocker discovered: Trivy v0.74.0 found 6 fixable critical and 56 fixable high findings in the exact v1.1.0 runtime digest. Do not publish, install, or certify v1.1.0. Issue #89 tracks the required immutable patch release; this issue must be retargeted only after the owner selects that new version.
