This seems overly complicated. I just right click and choose "Open". What additional value do you get from the spctl command?

The short version is: Chirp is unsigned, so by default macos 10.9 and beyond doesn't allow it to be run. In 10.9 there were GUI options to say "really, its ok: run it". The gui options were removed in 10.12, leaving only the command line spctl tool to mark an executable as ok to run.
If you're just running open on a recent chirp daily build: you are probably on an OS before 10.9 or turned off the security assessment policy subsystem.

Huh, that sounds more draconian than I've experienced. I download the zip, click on it to extract, right click on the .app, choose open, then I get this warning: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g6o41447gv3jggu/Screenshot%202016-11-29%2017.46.51... I just click Open and it runs normally from there.
My macOS version is 10.12.1.
It could be that I already had it disabled before upgrading.
