Build the macOS app bundle separately from DMG creation so headless release machines do not block in Tauri's Finder AppleScript. Keep Finder styling best-effort while always converting the writable image into an installable DMG.

Summary
A successful desktop build could still fail while creating the macOS installer: Tauri's DMG packaging depended on interactive Finder behavior, so a headless build machine could spend a long time compiling and then leave developers with only a zipped
.appinstead of a testable installer.This PR makes
