Steps to reproduce
  1. brew install --cask mark-text

Expected behavior:

Install the app

Actual behavior:

Got a error

The Apple Silicon (ARM) version of mark-text is not signed. It will display an error stating it is damaged and can't
be opened. Please see https://github.com/marktext/marktext/issues/2983 for details and workarounds.

This is something only the developer, not Homebrew, can fix.
