ShareBeacon is a macOS 26 menu-bar application for keeping SMB shares available and restoring Finder sidebar favorites after reconnects.

• Support macOS 26 and later only. Keep the deployment target at macOS 26.0.
• Preserve the MIT license and credit Ben Tindall and Valentine Ubani Mayaki.
• Never store passwords in configuration, URLs, process arguments, or logs.
• Prefer small, isolated changes with focused tests.
• Run swift test after core changes and git diff --check before every commit.
• Use commit-often: commit one coherent change as soon as it is verified.
• Finder sidebar repair is best-effort and must never block mounting.
• Keep the product version in VERSION using two numeric components.
• Use GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER as the CI build number; local builds use the commit count unless BUILD_NUMBER is provided.

1. Reconcile existing mounts safely when shares are edited, disabled, or removed.
2. Make reconnect behavior deterministic across network and sleep/wake events.
3. Restore configured Finder sidebar favorites after a successful mount.
4. Improve diagnostics and prepare signed/notarized distribution.

• swift test (this machine needs the Xcode toolchain + SDK; see below)
• swiftlint --strict when SwiftLint is installed
• xcodebuild -project ShareBeacon.xcodeproj -scheme ShareBeacon -configuration Debug build
• git diff --check
