zsigncapturemetadata isn’t a standard, widely documented term—it’s usually an internal/log field or function name tied to code-signing workflows.

• What it is: Likely a routine/flag for capturing metadata during a signing process.
• Where used: Seen in app signing tools, build systems, or CI/CD pipelines (often custom or vendor-specific).
• What metadata: Typically includes file hashes, certificates, timestamps, signer identity, bundle/package info, and signature status.
