What

Four error messages in apps/desktop/scripts/prepare-macos-runtime.sh still tell you to run commands against the pre-restructure root paths.

Why

The 2026-08-22 restructure moved zmx, zehn and code-server under .dependencies/. The script's own ZMX_ROOT and CODE_SERVER_ROOT were updated, but the recovery commands it prints on failure were not:

git submodule update --init --recursive zmx
npm --prefix code-server install
git -C code-server submodule update --init lib/vscode
npm --prefix code-server/lib/vscode install

None of those pathspecs exist any more, so a missing-submodule build failure hands you a command that errors out instead of fixing anything. Hit this today on a fresh bun run start after a pull: zmx source is missing → the printed fix fails with pathspec 'zmx' did not match.

Verification

  • git submodule update --init --recursive .dependencies/zmx — the corrected zmx command, run for real; checked out the pinned commit and the build got past the zmx gate.
  • bash -n apps/desktop/scripts/prepare-macos-runtime.sh — clean.
  • Full bun run start completed and launched the app.

Strings only; no behavior change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved macOS runtime setup for custom dependency locations.
    • Updated code-server and VS Code setup to use the detected installation path.
    • Clarified missing runtime component errors with configuration-specific recovery guidance.
    • Improved initialization instructions for default and externally configured runtime locations.

The 2026-08-22 restructure moved zmx, zehn and code-server under
.dependencies/, but prepare-macos-runtime.sh still printed recovery
commands for the old root paths:

  git submodule update --init --recursive zmx
  npm --prefix code-server install
  git -C code-server submodule update --init lib/vscode
  npm --prefix code-server/lib/vscode install

Those pathspecs no longer exist, so anyone hitting a missing-submodule
build failure was handed a command that cannot work. Point all four at
the current .dependencies/ paths, matching ZMX_ROOT and
CODE_SERVER_ROOT as they are already defined at the top of the script.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The macOS runtime preparation script now uses resolved code-server paths and distinguishes explicitly configured zmx checkouts from the default submodule when reporting missing zmx errors.

Changes

macOS runtime preparation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolved code-server dependency paths
apps/desktop/scripts/prepare-macos-runtime.sh
Code-server dependency installation and VS Code setup commands now use the resolved CODE_SERVER_ROOT path.
Conditional zmx diagnostics
apps/desktop/scripts/prepare-macos-runtime.sh
The script records whether ZMX_ROOT was explicitly configured. Missing zmx errors now provide recovery instructions for external or default checkouts.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 75b61

The PR updates printed recovery commands to use the relocated .dependencies paths without changing runtime behavior; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks.

Comment thread apps/desktop/scripts/prepare-macos-runtime.sh Outdated
The error hints hard-coded .dependencies paths, so a CODE_SERVER_ROOT /
GHOSTEX_CODE_SERVER_ROOT / ZMX_ROOT override made them point at a different
checkout than the one the script actually uses. Print $CODE_SERVER_ROOT in the
code-server npm/submodule commands, and print $ZMX_ROOT in the zmx submodule
command - falling back to a 'point ZMX_ROOT at a valid checkout' hint when the
root is an external override that is not a submodule of this repository.
