Closes #257 — the published mac app was Apple silicon only, and Rosetta does not translate in that direction.

What this does

Every release now produces four mac artifacts: OpenMausBot-<v>-{arm64,x64}.{dmg,zip}. electron-updater already routes by filename on macOS (arm64-marked files on Apple silicon, unmarked ones on Intel), so existing users are unaffected and Intel users get real auto-updates.

Local computer use works fully on Intel — no Silicon-only carve-out was needed: the pinned CUA driver release is a universal binary, and @trycua/cua-driver-darwin-x64 exists at our exact pinned 0.20.0.

The changes

  • electron-builder.yml — dmg+zip for [arm64, x64]; extraResources resolve through dist-native/${arch} so each bundle carries its own natives. One trap found empirically: the dmg: section's own artifactName was arch-less and overrides everything, so on the first dual-arch build the x64 dmg silently overwrote the arm64 one and the feed listed one filename with two hashes. It now carries ${arch}.
  • package.jsonpnpm.supportedArchitectures.cpu: [arm64, x64] so pnpm installs both darwin natives. Lockfile is byte-identical.
  • scripts/prepare-cua.mjs — per-arch staging; asserts the driver is genuinely universal with lipo (a future non-universal pin fails at package time, not on a user's Intel Mac); falls back to the official universal download if the locally installed CuaDriver.app is single-arch.
  • electron/build-speech-helper.mjs — two swiftc passes targeting {arm64,x86_64}-apple-macos12 (matches the app's LSMinimumSystemVersion), lipo'd and asserted universal. Bare swiftc built host-arch only — inside an Intel app, a dictation helper that cannot launch.
  • scripts/regenerate-mac-feed.mjs (new) — release tooling: refreshes latest-mac.yml hashes after notarization stapling rewrites the bytes, preserving electron-builder's file order (which the updater's arch filtering depends on) and refusing to finish unless every entry matches the bytes on disk.
  • README — Intel download row; the stable Apple-silicon link OpenMausBot.dmg is unchanged, Intel gets OpenMausBot-intel.dmg at publish time.

Verification

  • four distinct artifacts; app binaries x86_64 / arm64 respectively; cua-driver and the speech helper inside the x64 bundle are universal (lipo -archs)
  • the x64 app was launched under Rosetta on an arm64 Mac with a sandboxed OMB_DATA_DIR/--user-data-dir: server forked, /api/health returned static: true, and all 8 spawned proxy paths resolve inside Resources/server
  • full suite green: 1187 passed / 12 skipped, plus the packaged-server smoke test

Release-flow note

The next release cut from main after this merges will produce 4 mac artifacts to notarize/staple instead of 2 (the versioned arm64 dmg name changes from OpenMausBot-<v>.dmg to OpenMausBot-<v>-arm64.dmg), and should upload OpenMausBot-intel.dmg as a stable-named copy next to the existing OpenMausBot.dmg. Auto-update for existing arm64 users is unaffected — updates ship via the zip, whose name is unchanged.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

macOS packaging now produces arm64 and x64 DMG and ZIP artifacts. Native CUA resources and the speech helper support both architectures. A feed regeneration script verifies release metadata, and the README adds an Intel download entry.

Changes

Universal macOS builds

Layer / File(s) Summary
Architecture-aware packaging
package.json, electron-builder.yml
The package configuration supports arm64 and x64. macOS DMG and ZIP targets use architecture-specific resources and filenames.
Native resource and helper staging
electron/build-speech-helper.mjs, scripts/prepare-cua.mjs, scripts/smoke-cua.mjs
The speech helper combines arm64 and x86_64 slices. CUA staging validates universal binaries, signs per-architecture copies, stages matching SDK packages, and selects architecture-specific smoke-test resources.
Release feed and download metadata
scripts/regenerate-mac-feed.mjs, README.md
The feed script refreshes and verifies artifact hashes, sizes, URLs, architecture entries, and release dates. The README documents Intel macOS downloads.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bbcaa

The change adds Intel macOS packaging and release-feed handling, but the current branch can leave update metadata invalid if feed validation or writing is interrupted, and the documented download links can direct users to missing or incorrect release assets. Merge should wait until the release tooling and both macOS download links are corrected.

Closes #257. The published mac app was arm64-only; an Intel Mac cannot
run it and Rosetta does not translate in that direction.

- electron-builder.yml: dmg + zip for [arm64, x64]. The dmg section's
  own artifactName override was arch-less, so the x64 dmg silently
  OVERWROTE the arm64 one on the first dual-arch build and the feed
  listed one filename twice with two different hashes — it now carries
  ${arch}. extraResources resolve through dist-native/${arch} so each
  bundle ships its own natives.
- pnpm.supportedArchitectures.cpu = [arm64, x64]: pnpm installs both
  darwin CUA native packages (x64 exists at the exact pinned 0.20.0);
  lockfile is byte-identical.
- prepare-cua.mjs: stages per-arch dirs, asserts the driver binary is
  genuinely universal via lipo (a future non-universal pin fails at
  package time, not on a user's Intel Mac), and falls back to the
  official universal download when the locally installed CuaDriver.app
  is single-arch. The pure-JS SDK bundle is built once and shipped in
  both dirs.
- build-speech-helper.mjs: two swiftc passes targeting
  {arm64,x86_64}-apple-macos12 (the app's LSMinimumSystemVersion),
  lipo'd and asserted universal — bare swiftc built host-arch only,
  which inside an Intel app is a dictation helper that cannot launch.
- scripts/regenerate-mac-feed.mjs (new): refreshes latest-mac.yml
  hashes after notarization stapling rewrites artifact bytes,
  preserving electron-builder's file order (electron-updater filters
  that list by arch: arm64-marked files on Apple silicon, unmarked on
  Intel) and verifying every entry against the bytes on disk before
  finishing.
- smoke-cua.mjs follows the per-arch staging layout; README gains the
  Intel download row (stable name: OpenMausBot-intel.dmg).

Verified: four distinct artifacts; app binaries x86_64/arm64
respectively; universal cua-driver and speech helper inside the x64
bundle; the x64 app launched under Rosetta on this arm64 Mac with a
sandboxed data dir — server forked, /api/health static:true, all 8
spawned proxy paths resolving inside Resources/server; full suite
green (1187 passed).

Update both macOS download links.

OpenMausBot-intel.dmg returns 404. The latest release publishes the unmarked x64 DMG and an arm64 ZIP only. OpenMausBot.dmg therefore does not provide an Apple silicon DMG. Publish stable aliases for both architectures or link to the correct release assets.

Write the feed only after validation succeeds.

writeFileSync(feedPath, updated) runs before the verification loop. If verification fails or the process stops during the write, latest-mac.yml can remain partially updated or invalid. Validate the generated content first, then write through a temporary file and atomically rename it into place.
