Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Reproduce the warning with Panwriter 0.6.5 on macOS Catalina, then inspect the macOS packaging and release configuration to determine how the app is signed or notarized. Done means a non-administrator can open the distributed app without the malicious-software warning.
