The code merely allows me to detect if I have screwed up my build

Sure, it's useful for that. But when people see the phrase "code
signing" they tend to assume it's magic sauce for detecting
malicious code, so I wanted to set expectations for others wanting
to use that snippet.
I think there is a bit of "magic sauce" to be had in the fact an app
signed with a trusted anchor is, as you know, trusted by various
subsystems such as the app firewall, keychain, etc.
