Description
Come on folks, this is easy to prevent. Since v1.27.7 decided to drop support for versions of macOS prior to 12.7, all you have to do is add a <sparkle:minimumSystemVersion>12.7.0</sparkle:minimumSystemVersion> tag to your https://upgrades.syncthing.net/syncthing-macos/appcast.xml Sparkle feed to prevent unsupported versions of macOS from even seeing the Sparkle update popup.
No need for people to https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing-macos?tab=readme-ov-file#disable-automatic-update-checker
See https://sparkle-project.org/documentation/publishing/#minimum-system-version-requirements for more info

Start with the upgrades.syncthing.net/syncthing-macos/appcast.xml Sparkle feed and read Sparkle's minimum system version requirements. Confirm the feed's minimum version matches the supported macOS release, then verify that older macOS versions no longer receive the update popup; review related issues #216, #217, #218, and #219 for context.
