I'm curious what you're actually doing. We have some code that runs on
ARM based Macs only that does this

    codesign -s - -f $@.tmp

where I think $@.tmp is... something... executable?

I'm wondering if we should just install everything into the app bundle
and sign the whole damn thing.

I don't really understand this whole codesigning thing. It seems to
make no difference here, but I'm not trying to run the app on another
Mac or on an ARM Mac, so I think it's normal that I shouldn't see any
difference.
