## Summary
The macOS `.dylib` is only used by Coder Desktop macOS v0.7.2 or older.
v0.7.2 was released in August 2025. v0.8.0 of Coder Desktop macOS, also
released in August 2025, uses a signed Coder slim binary from the
deployment instead.
It's unlikely customers will be using Coder Desktop macOS v0.7.2 and the
next release of Coder simultaneously, so I think we can safely remove
this process, given it slows down CI & release processes.
## Changes
- **Makefile**: Remove `DYLIB_ARCHES`, `CODER_DYLIBS` variables and
`build/coder-dylib` target
- **scripts/build_go.sh**: Remove `--dylib` flag and all dylib-specific
logic (c-shared buildmode, CGO, plist embedding, vpn/dylib entrypoint)
- **scripts/sign_darwin.sh**: Remove dylib-specific comment
- **CI (ci.yaml)**: Remove `build-dylib` job, artifact download/insert
steps, and `build-dylib` dependency from `build` job
- **Release (release.yaml)**: Remove `build-dylib` job, artifact
download/insert steps, and `build-dylib` dependency from `release` job
- **vpn/dylib/**: Delete entire directory (`lib.go` + `info.plist.tmpl`)
- **vpn/router.go, vpn/dns.go**: Clean up comments referencing dylib
The slim and fat binary builds are completely unaffected — the dylib was
an independent build target with its own CI job.

Previously, a `nil` Router config would cause a panic in the dylib.
Normally, a nil Router config would indicate a shutdown of the service,
and that settings should be reset. However, for Coder Desktop macOS the
network configuration will be reset by the disconnecting of the system
VPN, so we'll instead do nothing.
