- Renewed 2026-11-08, until 2027-11-08 (maintainer, /quest-unblock), after the
Account Holder signed the Apple Developer Program License Agreement. The API
key authenticates, but minutes after the renewal the notary API still answers
`FORBIDDEN.REQUIRED_AGREEMENTS_MISSING_OR_EXPIRED` (see `/business`).
- Once the notary API accepts the key, an agent with the maintainer's `op`
session creates the Developer ID profile through the App Store Connect API
with that key, and stores everything with `gh secret set` (no secret passes
through chat or a file outside `.tmp/`). Confirm the `.p12` holds the
Developer ID key, not a distribution one, before storing it. Then delete
this quest.

## Waiting

- Maintainer: accept any pending agreement at App Store Connect > Business
(appstoreconnect.apple.com/business), which the notary API names after the
Program License Agreement was signed; only the Account Holder can accept.
If none is pending, Apple may still be propagating the signature. Check:
`xcrun notarytool history` with the `apple-api` key succeeds (or a GET of
`https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/notary/v2/submissions` with a JWT from
that key returns 200).

Check BootNext before rebooting.

If BootNext selects NixOS, the immediate reboot can return to NixOS instead of Windows. Check for a pending selection and coordinate with the maintainer before clearing or replacing it.

Require maintainer confirmation before rebooting.

A detached job can continue after its owner disconnects without appearing in w or an unqualified ps. The agent can therefore treat the host as free and interrupt the job. Remove the command-based alternative and require maintainer confirmation.
