…builder pass The previous workflow used: 1. electron-builder --mac --dir (build unpacked .app) 2. codesign.sh (ad-hoc sign) 3. electron-builder --mac dmg --prepackaged (create DMG) This produced a working DMG but a broken app — Python failed at runtime. The --prepackaged step may re-process extraResources and overwrite the signed Python environment, and the custom codesign.sh step with --options runtime --deep can conflict with macOS library loading for the embedded Python. Replace all three steps with a single `electron-builder --mac` call that builds the .app and creates the DMG in one pass. This correctly embeds python-embed/ via extraResources without interference. Signing/notarization disabled (CSC_IDENTITY_AUTO_DISCOVERY=false, --config.mac.notarize=false) — produces an unsigned DMG for testing.

[WIP] Fix builder issues with build GitHub action
Fix macOS build: replace segmented 3-step build with single electron-builder pass
Mar 9, 2026
The previous build produced either an unsigned app (requiring xattr -dr to clear quarantine from all files including the embedded python3 binary) or an ad-hoc signed app with --options runtime (hardened runtime) which blocked Python from loading pip-installed unsigned .so extensions. Fix: apply ad-hoc signing WITHOUT --options runtime. Without hardened runtime, macOS does not enforce library validation — Python loads its extensions freely. Because the whole bundle is consistently signed (all executables with the same ad-hoc identity), Gatekeeper's "Open Anyway" button approves the entire bundle including the embedded python3 binary. No shell commands (no xattr) are required. Changes: - build/macos/codesign.sh: remove --options runtime from ad-hoc path; keep --options runtime + --timestamp only for real Developer ID certs - .github/workflows/build-mac-dmg.yml: restore 3-step build (build app → codesign.sh → create DMG); fix find -maxdepth ordering - docs/INSTALLER.md: replace xattr -dr instructions with Open Anyway steps - README.md: add macOS Gatekeeper note to Install section Co-authored-by: lmangani <1423657+lmangani@users.noreply.github.com>

macOS DMG: ad-hoc sign without hardened runtime so "Open Anyway" is sufficient
Mar 9, 2026
Three focused fixes for the crash at ltx2_server.py:221:
1. zit_image_generation_pipeline.py: make ZImagePipeline import lazy
- Moved `from diffusers.pipelines.auto_pipeline import ZImagePipeline`
from module level into __init__, consistent with how every other
pipeline defers its heavy imports.
- Previously this import ran as part of build_default_service_bundle()
at startup — the exact call site of the line-221 crash. If diffusers
doesn't expose ZImagePipeline (version mismatch, partial install, etc.)
the whole backend would refuse to start even before any ZIT model is
requested.
2. electron/window.ts: fix production icon path
- getCurrentDir() returns path.dirname(app.getPath('exe')) = Contents/MacOS
on macOS, so the old path looked for the icon at Contents/MacOS/resources/
which never exists. Use process.resourcesPath (= Contents/Resources/)
in production builds.
3. electron-builder.yml: add icon.png to mac extraResources
- Ensures icon.png is present at Contents/Resources/icon.png
(= process.resourcesPath) so the corrected path actually finds it.

The macOS DMG required
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantineafter "Open Anyway" because the Python backend crashed at startup due to two independent issues. After these fixes, clicking "Open Anyway" once in Privacy & Security is sufficient.Signing: remove hardened runtime from ad-hoc signing (
build/macos/codesign.sh)The 3-step build (build → sign → DMG) applied
--options runtimeeven for ad-hoc identity"-". Hardened runtime enables library validation; pip-installed.soextensions are unsigned → blocked → crash atltx2_server.py:221insidebuild_initial_state. PyTorch's pre-signed.sofiles passed, masking the issue until later imports.CI workflow restored to 3-step (build → codesign.sh → DMG) with
CSC_IDENTITY_AUTO_DISCOVERY=falsepreventing electron-builder from re-signing.Lazy
ZImagePipelineimport (zit_image_generation_pipeline.py)ZImagePipelinewas imported at module level, which ran at exactly thebuild_initial_statecall site. Any diffusers version skew would crash the backend before any ZIT model was ever requested. Moved inside__init__, consistent with how every other pipeline in the codebase defers heavy imports.Icon path fix (
electron/window.ts,electron-builder.yml)getCurrentDir()resolves toContents/MacOSon macOS in production (the exe's directory), notContents/Resources. Icon lookup was always failing silently. Fixed to useprocess.resourcesPath, andicon.pngadded to macextraResourcesso it's actually present there.Docs
