make machine-setup.sh and officer-setup.sh actually run on macOS
Both scripts had real macOS branches already — MACOS_SKIP, Xcode CLT, Docker Desktop
detection — but neither had ever run past its own library load on a real Mac, and
verifying that live is what this commit is. This machine is the Mac.
The root cause was the interpreter, not missing OS coverage: macOS's stock /bin/bash is
3.2.57 (Apple stopped shipping newer once bash went GPLv3) and this machine has no newer
one installed. Both scripts used bash 4+/4.3+ syntax with zero version guard, so a real
run died in seconds — declare -A (base.sh, associative array), local -n (packages.sh,
nameref), mapfile (5 sites), ${var,,} (both scripts' own step() — confirmed --only killed
the ENTIRE run), and machine-setup.sh's own pre-flight hard-refused brew outright ("this
script does not implement yet") even once the bash-4 crash was fixed. Each got rewritten
to its bash-3.2-safe equivalent rather than requiring a newer bash and re-executing under
it — nine call sites, a bounded fix, and one less thing that can go wrong before the
script can report what's wrong.
Past that gate, a live probe run (real account/path prompts, killed before Database/
Services could touch this machine's actual state) reproduced a second bug in the first
few seconds: resolve_user_home used getent (Linux/glibc, absent on macOS) with a
hardcoded /home/<user> fallback, so Layout tried `install -d /home/pastilhas` and failed
with "Operation not supported". Fixed with the portable `eval echo ~user` tilde-expansion
idiom, re-ran the same probe, and it correctly created /Users/pastilhas/officerdev/ and
started a real git clone.
Everything else follows the same shape — an unguarded Linux-only tool with a portable or
brew-based macOS equivalent:
- grep -oP (4 sites: both --list flags, env.sh's tailnet lookup, build.sh's schema
table count) — BSD grep has no -P at all. Portable ERE+sed where regex was enough;
jq where the input was already JSON (tailnet lookup) — jq is already an unconditional
dependency elsewhere in this script, so that's a correctness fix, not just a port.
- ss (postgres.sh, proxy.sh — is anything listening on this port, and is it bound wide
enough for NPM's container to reach) — both silently mis-reported on macOS, since the
"command not found" was swallowed by 2>/dev/null and read as "nothing's listening".
New shared `listening_addrs()` in officer-setup's base.sh, branching to lsof.
- getent hosts (proxy.sh's DNS-wait loop) — same silent-failure shape, would have spun
its full 30-minute timeout regardless of whether the record actually resolved. macOS
branch uses dscacheutil.
- stat -c (layout.sh's ownership check) — BSD stat has no -c, confirmed live ("illegal
option -- c"), and the failure was VISIBLE and made every layout directory report as
wrong-owner. Portable file_owner() tries -c then falls back to -f %Su.
- apt-only Postgres client, NodeSource's Debian-only setup script, lazydocker/lazygit's
installers (one literally named install_update_linux.sh, the other hardcoding
"_Linux_" into the release asset URL) — each gets a brew branch, formula names
verified against the live Homebrew catalog rather than assumed.
- sudo -u "$USERNAME" to become the SAME account the process already is — real on
Linux, where this whole script runs as root and dropping to the owner needs no
password; on macOS the process never escalates in the first place, so re-invoking
sudo for yourself asks for a real password on every call, or fails outright without
sudo rights. machine-setup's dev.sh had ~10 inline call sites (git, bun, deno, claude,
opencode, editor detection) rerouted through a new shared run_as_owner(); officer-
setup's own as_owner() (already the shared entry point there) got the same branch,
and six direct sudo call sites in build.sh/secrets.sh/services.sh that bypassed it
were rerouted through it too.
Three things stay Linux-only rather than getting an unverified macOS implementation,
each skipped with a stated reason at the point it would otherwise run: pm2's boot-
persistence hook (needs a launchd plist generated and loaded, not a systemd unit
printed and eval'd — real, separate work), the Tailscale exit-node NIC/sysctl tuning
(no macOS equivalent concept, and advertising a laptop as an exit node is already the
edge case MACOS_SKIP treats it as), and ufw's bridge-to-host firewall rule (pf is a
different rule language entirely, and Docker Desktop's own VM-based networking may not
even have the problem this rule exists to solve — guessing at a firewall rule felt like
the wrong place to be wrong).
Verified: both --list flags print step names instead of a grep usage error. A bounded
officer-setup.sh run (killed before Database) resolved the real macOS home directory,
created the layout with correct ownership, and began a real git clone — cleaned up
after (rm -rf the test directory, the gitignored .setup-progress file, the stray
install-report). machine-setup.sh's pre-flight now reports "Packages: brew" and reaches
the account/path prompts instead of refusing the OS outright. bash -n clean on all 16
files under bash 3.2, the actual interpreter these scripts run under on a Mac.
Not run further live: Database, Secrets, Services and Proxy would mutate this machine's
real state (a live Postgres, a live set of pm2 processes this session runs through) and
were left for a deliberate, supervised run rather than folded into validation.

macOS is a dev machine, and machine-setup now treats it as one
Officer on a Mac is a dev helper on a laptop somebody sits at. It is never the homelab or VPS case, so the role is not asked for there — it is `dev`, and every section that exists to make a machine a good server is skipped. Seventeen of twenty-six sections skip, listed once in MACOS_SKIP in lib/base.sh with a reason each, rather than an `if macos` threaded through each section. Most would simply fail — no systemd, no ufw, no netplan, no useradd, no /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d — but a few would SUCCEED and be wrong, which is worse: stopping a laptop from sleeping, or freezing the address of a machine that moves between networks daily. Nine run: System update, Core utils, Tailscale, Command-line tools, Git, Docker, Neovim, JavaScript runtimes, Agent CLIs. The blocker was root. Linux needs it for nearly everything; Homebrew REFUSES to run as root and says so, so the whole script under sudo would have failed at the first brew install having already taken a password. It is now required on Linux and refused on macOS, which works precisely because the macOS path skips everything that needed it. Docker is checked, not installed. Docker Desktop is a GUI app that wants opening, permissions and a running window — not a shell script's business — and colima and lima both cost an evening the first time something does not resolve. So the step reports whether the daemon answers and points at the download otherwise. The group-vs-rootless choice below it is Linux only: Desktop runs containers in a VM owned by whoever is logged in, so there is no group to join. Added the Xcode command line tools as a macOS-only step, before anything that builds. node-pty ships no prebuilt binary on any platform and always falls through to node-gyp, so `bun install` cannot finish without a compiler — and it fails deep in a dependency tree naming neither Xcode nor node-pty. `xcode-select --install` opens a dialogue and returns immediately, so the step says to come back rather than pretending to have waited. Tailscale takes the cask, not install.sh — that script is a Linux package-manager wrapper. The cask ships a usable CLI; the Mac App Store build is sandboxed and does not. Not run on a Mac. There isn't one here, so this is read from the code and from what each tool documents, not observed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |
