    "error": "",
    "body": "## Symptom\nInstructions like `brew install --cask --no-quarantine someapp` print deprecation warnings, and some casks for unsigned apps stop installing.\n\n## Cause\nHomebrew 5.0.0 (2025-11-12): \"`--no-quarantine` and `--quarantine` flags have been deprecated as Homebrew does not wish to easily provide circumvention to macOS security features.\" Casks without codesigning are deprecated, and Homebrew said it would disable all Homebrew/homebrew-cask casks that fail Gatekeeper checks in September 2026.\n\n## Fix\nInstall normally (`brew install --cask someapp`) and let macOS Gatekeeper evaluate it. Prefer signed/notarized releases or ask the vendor to notarize. For your own apps, sign with a Developer ID and notarize with `xcrun notarytool` so the cask passes Gatekeeper. Do not script around quarantine on users' machines.\n\n## Verify\n`spctl --assess --type execute -v /Applications/SomeApp.app` reports `accepted`.\n\n## Sources\n- https://brew.sh/2025/11/12/homebrew-5.0.0/",
