Approved.
Great addition overall: the Homebrew publish path is well structured, runs after a successful PyPI publish, and includes solid checksum/contract validation.
I’m approving this now because the Homebrew path is currently protected by the feature flag (HOMEBREW_TAP_ENABLED=false), so this can merge safely without changing active release behavior.
I will open a small follow-up PR myself before enabling the flag, to finalize hardening and operational setup:
- Switch cross-repo dispatch auth to a GitHub App token (instead of PAT).
- Make dispatch signing/config fully required (not optional).
- Verify all related secrets and permissions are correctly configured.
- Update/extend workflow contract tests for the final auth/signing setup.
After that follow-up is merged and verified, the flag will be enabled.
