Summary
Create a repeatable validation checklist for a clean supported macOS install of Base.
The product vision draft calls out clean-machine install success as an adoption signal. #356 covers user testing on an Intel Mac, but there is no general checklist for validating the supported macOS install path across brew-based and git-clone-based installs.
Scope
- Define the clean-machine preconditions.
- Cover brew-based install validation.
- Cover git-clone-based install validation.
- Cover setup, check, doctor, projects list, activation, test, demo, logs, and update-profile smoke checks where applicable.
- Record expected output or acceptance criteria without hard-coding machine-specific paths.
- Decide what can run in GitHub Actions versus what requires manual macOS user testing.
Relationship To Existing Work
Acceptance Criteria
- A documented checklist exists for clean supported macOS validation.
- The checklist distinguishes automated CI checks from manual user-testing steps.
- The checklist covers both Homebrew install and source checkout install flows.
- Any discovered automation gaps are split into focused follow-up issues.
