- electron/main.ts: check-prerequisites now returns hasHomebrew + platform
so the frontend can distinguish macOS-without-Homebrew from other scenarios
- electron/main.ts: remove untested tarball fallback (hardcoded Node version,
custom ~/.codepilot/node/bin PATH), replace with clean Homebrew-only path
that returns a clear error message when Homebrew is absent
- electron/main.ts: remove ~/.codepilot/node/bin from getExpandedShellPath()
since the tarball install target no longer exists
- InstallWizard.tsx: when Node.js is missing AND Homebrew is absent on macOS,
show a guided UI with the Homebrew install command, copy button, and
step-by-step instructions instead of a broken "Install" button
- InstallWizard.tsx: footer shows "Recheck" button (re-runs checkPrereqs)
instead of "Install" in the no-Homebrew case
- en.ts/zh.ts: add 8 new i18n keys for the Homebrew guidance UI
Root cause: the previous tarball fallback was untested, pinned to a specific
Node version (v22.12.0), and required maintaining a custom PATH entry. Guiding
users to install Homebrew first is more reliable and maintainable.
