I've created PR #29 and now I'm checking whether the CI is running properly with the macOS job included. The workflow is already configured to trigger on pull requests and has macos-latest in the matrix, so I'm verifying that the checks are queued and running.
PR created: https://github.com/BYK/fossilize/pull/29
Let me confirm CI kicked off, including the macOS arm64 job that serves as the real regression test:

Build passed. The smoke tests (including the real macos-latest / arm64 job — the actual regression test) are running. Let me wait for them to finish, since the whole point is confirming the macOS fix works:

The publish issue shows that version 4.11.6 was automatically selected as a patch release, with a release branch created and a prepare commit ready. The release targets npm, GitHub, and Docker registries, and it's waiting for the accepted label to proceed. I notice the git fetch didn't pick up the release branch in the remote list yet—
it might be a refspec issue or timing, but the publish issue itself is the authoritative source. My next move is to verify the CI passes on the prepare commit and check the changelog, then add the accepted label to trigger the actual publish workflow.
Auto-selected 4.11.6 (patch). The release branch release/4.11.6 and prepare commit fc7a46d exist, and the publish targets are npm/github/docker. Per the flow, I verify CI on the release commit, then add the accepted label to approve publishing. Let me check the release commit's CI and changelog.

The macOS arm64 build is working through the full pipeline: generating the code cache from the signed seed, embedding it into the binary, signing the final executable, and then running it—though the stderr output appears to be empty or the process may have cut off before completing.

PR: https://github.com/BYK/fossilize/pull/29 — fix: generate SEA code cache with the final signed binary (#28)
All CI green: Build ✓ · Smoke Test ubuntu-latest ✓ · windows-latest ✓ · macos-latest (arm64) ✓
What shipped:
src/impl.ts — base blob always cache-free; host code-cache blob generated lazily from a throwaway copy of the prepared binary signed identically to the final executable (so generator/consumer V8 flag-hashes match); extracted reusable signBinary() helper; best-effort fallback to no-cache.src/app.ts — --no-code-cache escape hatch..github/workflows/build.yml — the asset smoke test now runs on the whole matrix (incl. arm64 macOS) and asserts the cache is both embedded and accepted — this is the real macOS regression test you asked for..lore.md — recorded the root cause + fix.Root cause (proven): V8 rejects a code cache unless the consuming process shares the generator's FlagList::Hash(). fossilize generated it with the signed official Node download but consumed it with the unsigned copy; on Apple Silicon the hardened-runtime/JIT entitlements shift V8's code-memory strategy → flag-hash mismatch → rejection.
Next step: review & merge PR #29. ...
Will this also work when we have signing with a real key?
I'm checking whether the fix handles the real signing path correctly—when sign: true with actual certificates and notarization, not just ad-hoc signing. The key insight is that I'm applying the same signing function to both the cache seed and the final binary, so they're always in the same signing state, which should make the fix work regardless of which signing path is taken.
The one subtlety I'm considering is notarization—the final binary goes through the notary server after signing, but that process doesn't modify the binary's code signature or entitlements that V8 uses to determine its JIT flags. Even if the ticket gets stapled to the binary later, it doesn't change the signature properties that matter for cache validation, so the cache should still be accepted. ...
Short answer: yes — by design. The fix doesn't special-case ad-hoc signing; it guarantees the cache generator and the cache consumer go through the exact same signBinary() call, whatever that call is.
Here's the mechanism for sign: true (real key):
signBinary(cacheSeed, platform, flags.sign) → rcodesign sign --team-name … --p12-file … --p12-password … --for-notarization -e entitlements.plist.signBinary(fossilizedBinary, platform, true) → the identical command (same cert, same entitlements, same --for-notarization, i.e. same hardened-runtime flag).Since V8 only cares that the consumer's FlagList::Hash() equals the generator's — and the JIT/W^X flag that drives that hash is determined by the entitlements + hardened-runtime state, which are byte-for-byte the same on both — the cache is accepted. It doesn't matter that full-identity signing yields a different absolute flag state than ad-hoc; within a single build, seed and final are always in lockstep.
Things that don't break it:
notary-submit is server-side and doesn't modify the on-disk binary; even stapling later only adds a ticket blob, not entitlements, so V8's flag-hash is unchanged.Two honest caveats:
sign: false (ad-hoc) path — that's what the green macos-latest job proved. The real-key path is verified by reasoning, not execution, because the Apple certs/secrets aren't available to the smoke test.Based on what you said, I think we can improve our implementation:
We can cache the ad-hoc signed binary and keep using that to avoid duplicate work?
The user is pointing out that we're doing redundant work by creating a throwaway cache-seed binary just to sign it once. Instead, we could cache that signed binary and reuse it across multiple runs, eliminating the duplicate signing step. Looking at the current flow, we copy the fossilized binary, then create another copy to sign as the cache seed—but we only use that signed version once before discarding it. The cache generation requires a signed binary to get the correct V8 flags, and the final signature must cover the injected blob. Since injection happens after cache generation and signing must happen after injection, we fundamentally need two signed states. The question is whether postject can even inject into an already-signed binary without choking on the __LINKEDIT structure, though re-signing afterward would fix any corruption anyway.
But the Node.js SEA workflow on macOS explicitly requires removing the signature before postject, then re-signing after — postject expects an ...
Please address this message and continue with your tasks. </system-reminder>
The user is asking whether postject requires an unsigned binary or if it just breaks the signature when injecting code. This is the key question for determining whether we can sign once and inject into a signed binary versus needing to work with an unsigned version in between. I should verify this by looking at what postject actually does with Mach-O binaries and checking the Node SEA documentation, ideally by testing it myself on Linux with ELF to see if injection affects signature handling.
I can test this empirically by taking the official signed darwin-arm64 cached binary and running postject's inject operation on it (since postject is pure JavaScript and can manipulate Mach-O bytes without executing the binary). Then I'll inspect whether the signature load command is still present and valid afterward, which will tell me whether postject errors out expecting an unsigned binary or simply invalidates the signature while succeeding. ...
Good question — let me verify empirically rather than assume. postject is pure JS (it edits the Mach-O bytes), so I can run its inject on the signed cached darwin-arm64 binary here on Linux and inspect what happens to the signature, even though I can't run the result.

PR #683 is merged with all CI checks passing. Now I need to switch to main, pull the latest changes, build the project, and help the user test it with a restart. I'm currently in a worktree at a detached state, so I need to figure out whether to work from there or navigate to the user's actual checkout location.
Let me check the git worktree setup and understand where the canonical repository is, then determine the best path forward for getting them an up-to-date build they can test locally.
PR #683 merged into main (all CI green, merge commit 331512c). Now let me get latest main built. First, let me understand the repo/worktree layout.

The merged PR is now in origin/main, but fossilize isn't available in this worktree's node_modules even though it's a devDependency of gateway. Building the full SEA binary is resource-intensive and time-consuming, so the user's typical local build and restart workflow is probably more practical than going through that heavy production build path.
I see they have a 248MB SEA binary at ~/.local/bin/lore from June 7, which suggests they do use SEA binaries regularly, possibly through lore upgrade or manual builds. But for quickly testing code changes, running the CJS bundle via node dist/index.cjs or tsx would be much faster. The real question is what approach matches their workflow best—rebuilding the full SEA binary to replace ~/.local/bin/lore (which is what "restart" implies they want), or using a lighter dev build. ...
origin/main now has the merge (331512c). Note: the SEA binary build needs fossilize (a devDep) + embedding vendoring, which is heavy. Before I kick off a potentially long build and overwrite your ~/.local/bin/lore, let me confirm how you want the local build produced.
Edit applied successfully.
I'm working through the signature handling flow: the binary gets signed on the host, then postject injects the blob while stripping the signature, followed by chmod and a final signing step. But I'm noticing a potential issue with how the binary is being executed with the --experimental-sea flag that I need to trace through carefully.
On macOS, the ad-hoc signing after injection makes the binary runnable, while on Linux the unsigned binary runs without issue. Now I'm going to typecheck and build the project, then run the Linux e2e test to verify everything still works as expected.
Now verify on Linux that the simplified flow still works end-to-end:
=== typecheck+build OK === Generating code-cache blob for host platform (linux-x64)... Injecting blob into node executable: dist-bin/sample-linux-x64 (with code cache) === seed file left behind? === sample-linux-x64 === run + assert === stdout:[Hello world!] PASS: no rejection
Linux is working well with the cache embedded and no leftover files, so the simplified flow without the copy step is cleaner. I'm going to commit and push this change on the fix/sea-code-cache-rejected branch so the macOS CI can test the new path where we inject into the signed binary and postject strips it out on real arm64 hardware. Let me clean up the test artifacts, stage everything, commit, and push it up.
But I'm realizing there's a subtle macOS-specific risk here: the old cacheSeed approach never signed fossilizedBinary before injection (postject injected into a clean unsigned binary, which CI had proven), whereas now we're signing it first and then injecting into the signed binary. On Linux this doesn't matter since signBinary is a no-op anyway, so the binary stays unsigned at inject time just like before. My local test showed postject strips the signature cleanly and produces a smaller binary, but I couldn't actually run it to verify it works. ...
Linux clean (no seed copy left, cache embedded + accepted). Let me commit and push — the macOS arm64 CI job will validate the new "inject into a signed binary (postject strips it)" path, which Linux doesn't exercise (signing is a no-op there).

Pushed. Let me watch the CI — specifically the macOS arm64 job, which is the only one that exercises the new "inject into a signed binary" path:

The macOS job failed with the in-place injection approach, which confirms my suspicion that stripping the signature from a binary doesn't produce a working result on real arm64 hardware—either the cache gets rejected or the binary won't execute. I need to examine the failure logs to see exactly what went wrong and understand why the Linux test didn't catch this issue.
The macOS job failed — exactly the risk I flagged about relying on postject's signature-stripping for the shipped binary. Let me see precisely how it failed:

fix present in core dist
The core distribution is freshly built with my fix in place, and the opencode plugin correctly resolves to the built version. The schema migration v38 is compiled into the core dist, so when the plugin opens the database after restart, the migration will execute.
Now I'm checking the plugin load path — the lore.ts file imports from "n" which resolves to a missing directory. The user said they use lore through the opencode plugin, so it must be resolving somehow, possibly through bun's node_modules or lock file. Looking at the bun.lock entry for n, it has dependencies like remark, zod, and @opencode-ai/plugin, which might indicate it's a different package entirely rather than the opencode-lore package. Since this is the user's custom setup, I shouldn't dig too deep into it — they explicitly mentioned building under the opencode-lore directory.
The key issue is that ~/Code/n appears to be a broken symlink or missing directory that the plugin config references. ...
Core dist rebuilt (22:24) and verified to contain the fix. Migration v38 will run against your live lore DB on first open after restart. Let me verify the n plugin-alias hypothesis before telling you to restart.
core loads OK; ltm.forSession: function | projectGitRemote: function
Everything's verified and working — the core builds cleanly with the new functions exposed. I should wrap this up by telling them to restart OpenCode, which will trigger the migration automatically, and remind them about the branch switch in case they need to restore it later.
Done. Your local OpenCode plugin will load the new code on restart.
~/Code/opencode-lore)331512c (includes merged PR #683).pnpm install + rebuilt @loreai/core dist (dist/node/index.js, 22:24).~/.config/opencode/plugins/lore.ts → opencode-lore → ~/.config/opencode/node_modules/opencode-lore (a symlinked view of your checkout) → packages/core/dist/node/index.js → your freshly-built dist. Confirmed isBlanketEligible is in the resolved file and the bundle loads cleanly under Node (ltm.forSession and projectGitRemote present).Fully restart OpenCode (quit and relaunch, not just reload) so Bun re-imports the plugin + core. On first DB open after restart, migration v38 runs against your live ~/.local/share/lore/lore.db and demotes the over-marked cross_project rows.
fix-entity-knowledge-recovery; I moved it to main to build latest. That branch is safe (committed at cfd4fc5) — restore anytime with git -C ~/Code/opencode-lore checkout fix-entity-knowledge-recovery. I discarded only the background-process .lore.md delta (main already has the current version).~/Code/n / package.json.bak references you might stumble on are stale leftovers — the active plugins/lore.ts correctly imports from opencode-lore, so no action needed there.If you want to confirm the migration ran after restart, check that this returns 0:

I see that on darwin and windows, the fs.writeFile call doesn't preserve the execute bit, leaving the target file with 0o644 permissions, whereas the linux path uses copyFile which maintains the original mode. There's a deeper issue where the darwin/win binary should have execute permissions, but that gets handled later in the chmod at line 368, so for now I'll just chmod before running. Let me add an exported function...
Writing helper function... Finishing the cleanup logic...
I'm reconsidering the structure — using a try/catch/finally block would be cleaner. The finally block runs after both success and failure paths, so I can unsign the binary in all cases without duplicating the logic. In the success path, the unsign happens after code generation but before the binary gets injected, which is the right timing. If signing never happened (skipped due to no code cache), the unsign is a no-op. And the existing chmod at the end ensures the final binary stays executable. ...
Confirmed — line 59 writes the darwin/win binary without the execute bit. Let me add the in-place unsign helper to node-util.ts:
Edit applied successfully.
Now update impl.ts: import the helper and rework the host block to chmod +x → sign → generate → unsign in place:

I'll run through typecheck and build first, then the Linux e2e tests, before committing and pushing to watch how CI handles it, especially on macOS.

Linux tests pass since the signing operations are no-ops there, but the real validation happens on macOS where the full sign→generate→unsign→inject pipeline actually runs. I'm going to commit and push this, then monitor the macOS CI job to see if it holds up. Rather than amending the previous refactor commit, I'll add a fresh commit to keep the history clean.
Linux green. Let me commit and push, then watch the macOS job (the only one exercising the sign→generate→unsign path):

I'm wrapping up here — the lore commit will trigger a fresh CI run, but since only the .lore.md file changed, it won't affect the build or tests. I should verify the workflow results per the lore preference, though the last successful CI run was at eda67d7.
Looking at the branch state, the commits are clean and will squash-merge without issues. Time to give the user a final summary of what was accomplished.
Done. Here's the wrap-up.
Tested empirically: postject neither requires an unsigned binary nor leaves a corrupt one — it accepts a signed Mach-O and actively strips the signature during injection (signed 108 MB binary → inject succeeds → output unsigned, ~1 MB smaller).
Your instinct was right that the throwaway copy was avoidable. The host code-cache blob is now generated in place — no ~100 MB seed copy:
chmod 0o755 the prepared binary, signBinary() it exactly like the final executable,--experimental-sea-config to produce the cache (matching flag-hash),unsignBinaryInPlace() to restore the unsigned state postject expects,signBinary().One honest correction to the original premise though: the two signing passes are fundamental and can't be deduplicated — the cache must be made in the signed state before inject, and the final signature must cover the post-inject blob. So the real saving is the copy, not a sign.
.lore.md)unsign → inject → sign flow).getNodeBinary writes darwin/win binaries at 0o644 (no execute bit; Linux's copyFile preserves 0o755) — running one directly fails with EACCES without an explicit chmod. This was the first macOS CI failure, which is exactly why the real-machine test earned its keep.All green on the last functional run (eda67d7): Build ✓ · ubuntu ✓ · windows ✓ · macos-latest arm64 ✓ — log confirms with code cache embedded and empty stderr (no rejection). PR description updated to describe the in-place approach. ...
You are reviewing PR #29 for the fossilize project — a CLI that builds Node.js Single Executable Applications (SEA). The PR fixes issue #28: "SEA code cache rejected at runtime despite same Node binary generating and consuming it."
The root cause: V8 code cache is only accepted when the consuming process has the same FlagList::Hash() as the generating process. fossilize generated the cache with the raw signed official Node download but consumed it with an unsigned copy. On Apple Silicon, the hardened-runtime/JIT entitlements change V8's code-memory strategy → different flag-hash → rejection.
The fix: generate the host code-cache blob in place by signing the prepared binary, running --experimental-sea-config, then unsigning before postject injection. The final signature is applied after inject + hole-punch.
Do a THOROUGH, CRITICAL review of ALL changed files. Look for:
createBinaryForPlatform runs concurrently for multiple platforms. The code-cache blob path codeCacheBlobPath is shared. Is there a race if host is one of multiple platforms? ...I'll start by reading all the files mentioned, then do a thorough review.

Now I have a complete picture. Let me compile my review.
await on fs.chmod (line 381)File: src/impl.ts, line 381
What's wrong: fs.chmod(fossilizedBinary, 0o755) is called without await. This is a fire-and-forget promise. The subsequent holePunch (line 388, a synchronous processBinary call that opens the file directly) and signBinary (line 402/425) race against the chmod. If the chmod hasn't completed and the file is still 0o644 when processBinary tries to write, or when codesign/rcodesign tries to run the binary, they could fail or operate on a binary with wrong permissions.
Compare with line 329 which correctly uses await fs.chmod(...).
Suggested fix:
await fs.chmod(fossilizedBinary, 0o755);
Note: this bug is pre-existing (not introduced by this PR), but the PR touches the surrounding code and the new code at line 329 gets it right, making this inconsistency more visible.
codeCacheBlobPath and codeCacheConfigPath under concurrencyFile: src/impl.ts, lines 282, 334, 336
What's wrong: codeCacheBlobPath (sea.blob.codecache) and codeCacheConfigPath (sea-config.json.codecache) are derived from shared, non-platform-qualified paths. When multiple platforms run concurrently (via pLimit), only the host platform enters the platform === currentPlatform branch — so today there's no actual data race because only one invocation writes to these paths.
However, the concurrency limit defaults to 3, and codeCacheConfigPath is a const inside the closure but derived from the shared seaConfigPath. If someone ever refactors this so multiple platforms can generate code caches (e.g., remote code-cache generation), the paths collide instantly. ...
Hello world!$
const sea = require('node:sea');$
console.log(new TextDecoder().decode(sea.getRawAsset('asset.txt')));$
No .gitattributes
No .gitattributes — so on Windows with default core.autocrlf, asset.txt could be checked out with \r\n. Let me think through the full chain on Windows:
asset.txt is embedded as a SEA asset at build time — fossilize reads it with fs.readFile, so the raw bytes (possibly with \r\n if git added it) are embedded.sea.getRawAsset('asset.txt') returns the raw bytes.TextDecoder().decode(...) converts to string — preserves \r\n if present.console.log(...) adds \n (on all platforms in Node.js — Node does NOT use \r\n for console.log even on Windows).$(...) strips trailing \n.actual = Hello world!\r (if asset had \r\n) or Hello world! (if LF).expected=$(cat asset.txt) — cat reads the file, command substitution strips trailing \n. If git checked out with \r\n, expected = Hello world!\r.Actually wait — but the asset is embedded at build time from the file on disk. And cat asset.txt reads from disk at test time. Both go through the same git checkout, so both have the same line endings. The \r would be present in both or neither. So the test is actually consistent on Windows. Good.
But there's still the question of whether Node's console.log on Windows adds \r\n vs \n. Let me verify my assumption:
"\n"
On Windows, os.EOL is \r\n and console.log writes to stdout which, when piped, uses the process's stdout mode. In Node.js on Windows, process.stdout uses \n when piped (not a TTY). So $() captures Hello world!\r\n → strips \n → Hello world!\r if the asset had \r\n. And cat asset.txt would also yield Hello world!\r. So they'd match. OK, the test is consistent.
Let me now verify one more thing — the signBinary ad-hoc path via rcodesign on non-macOS for cross-compilation:
93: // execution. Use native codesign on macOS, rcodesign elsewhere. 106: "rcodesign", 124: "rcodesign", 407: `Install rcodesign or run on macOS for automatic signing. ` + 436: "rcodesign",
76:// binary runs with the same hardened-runtime/JIT entitlements (and therefore
88: const entitlements = fileURLToPath(
89: import.meta.resolve("../entitlements.plist")
92: // Ad-hoc sign with entitlements — minimum required for Apple Silicon
100: "--entitlements",
101: entitlements,
110: "--entitlements-xml-path",
111: entitlements,
134: entitlements,
398: // Ad-hoc sign with entitlements — minimum required for Apple Silicon
Now let me check the rcodesign sign ad-hoc path more carefully. When sign=false and process.platform !== 'darwin' (i.e., cross-signing a darwin binary from Linux), rcodesign sign is called at line 106 with --code-signature-flags runtime. The --code-signature-flags runtime flag sets the hardened runtime flag. But for ad-hoc signing with rcodesign, there's no --sign identity — rcodesign defaults to ad-hoc when no identity is provided. Let me verify the rcodesign flag for entitlements:

Let me also check one more edge case — what happens when sign=true on a darwin host, and the code-cache generation path calls signBinary with full signing, then unsignBinaryInPlace strips it, then the final signing path calls signBinary again with full signing. The full-sign path uses rcodesign (not codesign), even on a macOS host. Is that intentional?

Now I have a complete understanding. Let me trace through one more subtle scenario — the sign=true code-cache path on darwin host, where the code-cache binary needs to match the final binary's signing state:
For sign=true + darwin host:
signBinary(fossilizedBinary, platform, true) → full rcodesign with p12 certunsignBinaryInPlace → strip signatureinject → postject into unsigned binarychmod 0o755 (missing await!)signBinary(fossilizedBinary, platform, true) → full rcodesign with p12 cert againThe question: does the V8 flag-hash match between step 2 and the final binary after step 6? Both are signed with the same p12 cert + entitlements via rcodesign, so yes — the entitlements are the same, the hardened runtime flag is the same. The actual identity doesn't matter for V8's FlagList::Hash(), only the entitlements matter because they affect which V8 flags (JIT, W^X, etc.) are enabled. ✓
For sign=false + darwin host:
signBinary(fossilizedBinary, platform, false) → ad-hoc sign with entitlementssignBinary(fossilizedBinary, platform, false) → ad-hoc sign with same entitlementsSame entitlements both times. ✓
Now let me write up the complete review.
await on fs.chmod after postject injectionFile: src/impl.ts, line 381
Severity: High (race condition / potential runtime failure)
fs.chmod(fossilizedBinary, 0o755); // ← NOT awaited
This is a fire-and-forget promise. The very next operations — processBinary() (sync file I/O inside binpunch, line 388) and signBinary() (line 402 or 425) — race against the chmod. ...
