 # Menu Band

+<https://apps.apple.com/us/app/menu-band/id6767311903> — that build is a reduced,
+sandboxed subset of this codebase; `STORE-APP-STORE.md` is the record of what it
+forks out and what review said. The full version stays at prompt.ac/menuband
+(`STORE.md`).

 A macOS menubar piano. The status item draws a multi-octave keyboard
 inline in the menu bar; clicks/key-presses play through CoreAudio +
 optional CoreMIDI; a popover (gear chip → click) exposes the GM

 | 1 | Jul 5 (build 153) | rejected Jul 9 | **5.2.5** + **1.5** | The subtitle carried a trademark ("macOS"), and the support URL didn't lead to a real support page. | `ea903abae` — subtitle → *"Instruments in your menu bar"*; wrote `system/public/menuband/support.html` and pointed the support URL at `menuband.app/support.html`. |
 | 2 | Jul 9 (build 153) | rejected Jul 11 | **2.4.5(i)** | The app declared `com.apple.security.device.bluetooth` for features the sandboxed build doesn't ship — an entitlement it never uses. | `8fce4eb70` — dropped the entitlement, **build 154**. The MultipeerConnectivity fleet is `#if !MAC_APP_STORE` anyway, and game controllers ride the high-level GameController framework (no `CBCentralManager` anywhere), so paired controllers still work without it. |

+**The QuickLook payoff.** macOS will not register a locally-built QuickLook
+extension — the `.mbscore` piano-roll preview only loads from a *notarized*
+bundle, which is why it never worked on dev installs. The MAS build is notarized,
+so this is the first channel where ⌘-Space on an `.mbscore` file actually renders.
 
 **The lesson from round 2, worth keeping:** review reads the entitlements
 against what the app *actually does*, not against what the codebase could do.
