Description
### Describe the bug
Everytime after upgrading copilot cli through HomeBrew the following message appears:
Apple could not verify “copilot” is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.
Afterwards, to get it working correctly, I need to go to Privacy & Security to explicitly allow "copilot"
We have the Security option set:
Allow applications from: App Store & Known Developers
### Affected version
0.0.381
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
1. On a corporate‑managed Mac with Gatekeeper enforced to App Store & Known Developers by profile.
2. brew install copilot-cli
3. Attempt to trigger copilot from the terminal
4. A pop-up appears with the message ‘Copilot’ was blocked to protect your Mac…
### Expected behavior
Copilot should launch normally on managed Macs when signed with a valid Apple Developer ID and notarized, satisfying the “App Store & Known Developers” requirement.
### Additional context
Mac OS: Sequoia 15.7.3
Shell: Zsh
Terminal: Ghostty
