GAnet 0.5.0 ships macOS sidecars, so the SOP no longer stops on non-Windows
desktops. The flow itself is unchanged; the edits are the platform facts GA
needs to follow it on a Mac:
- default component location moves to ~/.genericagent/components/GAnet on
every platform; a checkout under the GA root's temp/ is wiped by the temp
rewind mechanism
- launcher is ganet.cmd on Windows and ganet.sh on macOS; the bound Python
shim is ga_python.cmd / ga_python.sh
- sidecar data lives in %LOCALAPPDATA%\GenericAgent\GAnet or
~/Library/Application Support/GenericAgent/GAnet; login autostart is the
HKCU Run entry or a LaunchAgent; both are removed by remove_environment()
- release entries for macOS use platform "darwin", and verify_release checks
Mach-O as well as PE
- on macOS, setup and upgrades request the screen-recording permission at the
end and report it in screen_access; it is advisory and never blocks
- macOS needs no sudo; git/python placeholders without Xcode CLT must not be
invoked
