[f]

Summary

• add the privacy manifest and accurate microphone, speech-recognition, and local-network disclosures
• publish App Store metadata drafts plus public privacy and support pages

Pull request overview

Prepares Textream for Mac App Store distribution by adding an AppStore-specific Xcode build configuration (with signing/sandboxing) and updating the app and published materials to meet App Store privacy/disclosure requirements while keeping direct-download behavior unchanged.

Changes:

• Added an AppStore build configuration with APP_STORE compilation condition and App Sandbox / hardened runtime settings.
• Disabled the in-app updater UI/launch check and external donation link in App Store builds via conditional compilation.
• Added a privacy manifest plus updated public docs/metadata (privacy + support pages, App Store submission drafts) and bundled font license text.
