Description

Add a script that offloads macOS package builds to a remote Mac mini over SSH, then syncs release artifacts back to the local workspace.

Acceptance Criteria

• #1 Script supports remote host and path configuration.
• #2 Script supports signed and unsigned macOS build modes.
• #3 Script syncs project sources to remote and copies release artifacts back locally.

Implementation Notes

Added scripts/build-external.sh with:

• Defaults for host alias (mac-mini) and remote path (~/build/SubMiner)
• Argument flags: --host, --remote-path, --signed, --unsigned, --skip-sync, --sync-only
• Rsync-based upload excluding heavyweight build artifacts and local dependencies
• Remote build execution (pnpm run build:mac or pnpm run build:mac:unsigned)
• Artifact sync back into local release/
