Research direction
Investigate why Lepton requires gbd.cert credentials during installation. This is likely related to macOS code signing or certificate validation for distribution. Look into the app's build configuration (e.g., electron builder setup in package.json) and any associated scripts. The issue is from 2021 and has no responses; check if the current version still requires this and document the purpose.
