The fork only has two commits which update the README (one of which is to download software): https://github.com/cryptoadvance/specter-desktop/compare/master...CryptOpenDevelopment:specter-desktop:master

Where are the other changes?

jammed the private key inside your Mac’s Secure Enclave, and bolted Touch ID in front of the signing button

Are they in the binary you're linking to? Can those changes be verified?

The Touch ID / Secure Enclave magic isn’t in that two-commit demo branch at all. All the code lives in a separate module (specter-enclave) that we keep in its own repo and pull in at build time. The README edits just point macOS users at the notarised DMG. Nothing is “only in the binary” ,  you can reproducibly rebuild the exact same DMG from source in about 15 minutes.

Is the source for specter-enclave open? (I search the repo but GH says it's being indexed.)

Yep, 100 % open-source 👍 Repo just went live so GH’s code search is still indexing it.
