<!-- Merged into the bundle's Info.plist by Tauri. These usage strings appear inside the macOS

at least explains itself — the agent's tool runs are what touch these folders, and only when
a task needs them. -->

Calendars/Reminders (#302): without these keys macOS' TCC blocks EventKit access OUTRIGHT
rather than prompting, so a calendar/reminders MCP tool silently fails. macOS 14 split the
key: apps built against the 14+ SDK read the ...FullAccessUsageDescription variant, older
systems read the legacy key, so both are declared. Like Photos above (and unlike the mic,
a hardened-runtime *device* resource that also needs an entitlement), these personal-
information resources are gated by the usage string alone on this non-sandboxed app. -->
