📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The workflow adds macOS arm64 runtime tests and a manual Apple Silicon Setup.pkg build. The package job stages locked nodtool, a self-contained translator, and verified CMake. README.md documents macOS installation and local verification.

Changes

macOS CI and packaging

Layer / File(s) Summary
Native macOS arm64 validation
.github/workflows/build.yml
Adds a package-version input and a macOS arm64 job that builds portability and ABI targets and runs CTest.
Package toolchain preparation
.github/workflows/build.yml
Makes packaging wait for substrate tests, verifies Apple Silicon tools, builds locked nodtool, publishes the translator, and stages verified portable CMake 4.4.3.
Installer validation and macOS installation flow
.github/workflows/build.yml, README.md
Builds and validates WiiCompiled-Setup.pkg, uploads the artifact, and documents macOS package installation and local verification steps.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2e1d3

The macOS packaging workflow may fail before producing an installer because it requests an unavailable dependency version, and the documented installer can still be unsigned without validation rejecting it. Merge should wait for the dependency fix and explicit owner acceptance or remediation of the signing risk.

🌐 Web query:

Apple macOS pkgutil --check-signature unsigned package exit status

💡 Result:

When you run the command pkgutil --check-signature <path_to_package> on an unsigned macOS installer package, the exit status of the process is 0, indicating success [1]. While the command successfully reports the status as "no signature" in its standard output, this is considered a successful execution of the diagnostic command itself, not a failure of the signature verification process [2][1]. Therefore, you cannot rely solely on the exit status code (0) to programmatically determine if a package is signed or unsigned. To accurately determine the signature status in an automated workflow, you must parse the command's standard output (stdout) for the string "Status: no signature" or verify the presence of a valid certificate chain [3][1]. If you are scripting this check, you should capture the output and inspect the content rather than relying on the exit code [3].

Citations:


Sign and notarize the package before documenting direct installation.

The workflow omits --installer-identity, so Launcher/macos/build-setup-pkg.command produces an unsigned package. pkgutil --check-signature reports unsigned packages but exits successfully, so the current validation does not reject them. The README directs users to open the package from Releases.

Pass a Developer ID Installer identity, notarize the package, and make validation fail when the package has no valid signature.
