Summary

scripts/bundle.sh builds Plug and wraps it as build/Plug.app. The default is a release build. --debug builds debug instead and --open launches the app. PLUG_BUNDLE_ID sets the bundle identifier, defaulting to com.erdoar.plug.
Bundle/Info.plist is the template. It includes NSAudioCaptureUsageDescription (Core Audio process taps) and NSMicrophoneUsageDescription, so macOS can ask for permission. The unbundled swift run binary can't.
The bundle is signed ad hoc for local use. macOS may ask for permission again after each rebuild.
README and CLAUDE.md now say when to use the bundle.

Tested

Linux: bash -n passes, and the plist parses with the expected keys.

To test on the Mac

Quit Plug, then run scripts/bundle.sh --open. Expect Built build/Plug.app (release, com.erdoar.plug), then the app opens.
In the app: Start, add an effect, and switch the output. Everything should work as it does under swift run.
Optional: run codesign -dv build/Plug.app and check it shows Signature=adhoc.

Not done

Nothing requests permission yet. That comes with audio capture (step 4).
