Oracle UEK8 rejects Node SEA PT_NOTE blobs larger than 4 MB, so npx t3 and the installer fail with a bare exec-format error. Print a targeted hint (RHCK / from-source) from the npm launcher, legacy launcher, and install.sh, and document it next to Intel Macs.

Restrict this test to Linux or generate the host archive name.
install.sh selects darwin on macOS and checks SHA256SUMS for the Darwin archive name. This fixture publishes only the hard-coded Linux filename, so the installer fails before reaching the UEK8 assertion. Skip the test outside Linux or derive stem from the platform selected by install.sh.

Issue 12628's verified workaround is capping the installed binary's PT_NOTE p_filesz at 4 MB. Put that next to RHCK and the from-source path in the shared hint, installer diagnostic, and install notes. Always print the Linux installer hint: some shells swallow ENOEXEC and leave no diagnostic text to match.

Add an exact PT_NOTE patch procedure or link.
The text names the ELF field but does not show how to locate or change it. Users without an existing ELF patching procedure cannot apply this workaround from the installation guide. Add a tested command or link to the verified procedure. Keep the note that the change must be reapplied after each update.

On Linux, stderr writes to pipes are async, so process.exit can drop the UEK8 hint. Exit from that write's callback on both launchers, and ignore a later child event so it cannot exit first. Derive the installer smoke-test archive name from the host platform. Co-authored-by: maco <macodev00@users.noreply.github.com>
