bflatasticandClaude Opus 5.5 d0a99faf1e macOS DMG: generate DS_Store and TIFF from a script, attribute the assets (review of #493)
- packaging/macos/dmg/generate.py writes background.tiff and DS_Store on any OS (resvg with
  the repo's fonts; ds_store and mac_alias, as dmgbuild uses). Both are byte-reproducible and
  carry nothing from the machine that made them.
- DS_Store: same window, icon size, positions and background alias as before, without the
  bookmark (pBBk/pBB0) and the alias's disk-image record, which held the author's boot volume
  UUID and name, its creation date and temporary paths.
- background.tiff: the same pixels as before (checked), now opaque RGB with Deflate (1.8 MB to
  1.0 MB) and LittleCMS's built-in sRGB profile instead of an HP profile with no open licence;
  no file names or software tags.
- background.svg: drop an unused pattern and the xlink namespace (renders the same).
- ASSETS.md rows for the three files; README, docs/releasing.md (volume name) and ROADMAP.

"""Regenerate background.tiff and DS_Store for the macOS DMG window (see README.md here).
Needs resvg on PATH (as packaging/icons.sh) and:
pip install 'pillow>=12' ds_store==1.3.3 mac_alias==2.2.3
Runs on any OS, no Mac needed. Both outputs come from this script alone, so they carry nothing
from the machine that made them: no local paths, user or disk names, dates or volume UUIDs.
