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
