+/**
+ * Reproduction script for issue #1720:
+ * Mac initial setup process does not detect opencode installed via brew.
+ *
+ * This script simulates the EXACT opencode binary detection chain that
+ * runs during initial setup (first launch) of the OpenChamber desktop app
+ * on macOS.
+ *
+ * Detection chain in packages/web/server/lib/opencode/env-runtime.js:
+ *   Step 1: Check env vars (OPENCODE_BINARY, OPENCODE_PATH, etc.)
+ *   Step 2: searchPathFor('opencode') — walks process.env.PATH
+ *   Step 3: Hardcoded fallback paths (includes /opt/homebrew/bin/opencode,
+ *            /usr/local/bin/opencode, etc.)
+ *   Step 4: Shell probing — $SHELL -lic 'command -v opencode'
+ *            (⚠️  NO TIMEOUT on spawnSync)
+ *
+ * On macOS, apps launched from the Dock/Finder inherit a minimal PATH:
+ *   /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
+ * This does NOT include any brew bin directories.
+ *
+ * The Electron main process (main.mjs) tries to augment PATH by probing
+ * the user's login shell with:
+ *   spawnSync($SHELL, ['-il', '-c', 'env -0'], { timeout: 5000 })
+ *
+ * If the shell startup is slow (>5s due to nvm, pyenv, etc.), this times
+ * out and PATH stays minimal. The server-side probing (in index.js:652)
+ * also calls spawnSync but with NO timeout at all — potentially hanging
+ * the module initialization indefinitely.

+
+  ⚠️  POTENTIAL ISSUES (macOS-specific):
+
+  1. SHELL PROBING HAS NO TIMEOUT (env-runtime.js:366):
+     The shell probing step at line 366 calls spawnSync without
+     a timeout. If the user's shell startup is slow (>5s due to
+     nvm, pyenv, etc.), this blocks indefinitely.
+
+  2. ELECTRON PROBE HAS 5s TIMEOUT (main.mjs:1023):
+     The Electron main process probes the shell with a 5-second
+     timeout. If the shell takes >5s, PATH is NOT augmented.
+
+  3. SERVER-SIDE SHELL PROBE HAS NO TIMEOUT (env-runtime.js:205):
+     The server's getLoginShellEnvSnapshot() also has no timeout,
+     potentially blocking module initialization at index.js:652.
+
+  4. FILE-SYSTEM PERMISSION ISSUE:
+     On macOS with Full Disk Protection, the Electron sandbox
+     may restrict access to files outside the app container.
+
+  5. BREW INSTALLATION PATH NOT COVERED:
+     If brew is installed at a custom prefix (not /opt/homebrew
+     or /usr/local), the hardcoded fallbacks won't match.
+`);
+  } else {
+    console.log(`
+  ❌ The binary was NOT found by ANY detection method. This
+     confirms the root cause: the detection chain failed.
+
+  The hardcoded fallback paths only cover:
+    - /opt/homebrew/bin/opencode (Apple Silicon standard)
+    - /usr/local/bin/opencode (Intel standard)
+
+  If opencode is at a different location, it won't be found.
+`);

+    fallback paths. This is likely the root cause.`);
+  }
+
+  console.log(`
+  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+  Recommended fixes:
+  1. Add a timeout to ALL spawnSync calls in the detection chain
+     (especially env-runtime.js lines 205, 366)
+  2. Consider using 'which opencode' or 'command -v opencode'
+     as a standalone fallback with a short timeout
+  3. The existing hardcoded paths DO cover standard brew paths,

-  ⚠️  POTENTIAL ISSUES (macOS-specific):
+  🔧 FIXES APPLIED (issue #1720):
 
-  1. SHELL PROBING HAS NO TIMEOUT (env-runtime.js:366):
-     The shell probing step at line 366 calls spawnSync without
-     a timeout. If the user's shell startup is slow (>5s due to
-     nvm, pyenv, etc.), this blocks indefinitely.
+   1. ✅ SHELL PROBING TIMEOUT (env-runtime.js):
+       All 4 shell probe spawnSync calls now have a 5-second
+       timeout. Prevents indefinite blocking on slow shells.
 
-  2. ELECTRON PROBE HAS 5s TIMEOUT (main.mjs:1023):
-     The Electron main process probes the shell with a 5-second
-     timeout. If the shell takes >5s, PATH is NOT augmented.
+   2. ✅ FAST-PATH PROBE (env-runtime.js):
+       Added /bin/sh -c 'command -v opencode' before the full
+       login shell probe. Catches brew binaries at ~10ms instead
+       of potentially seconds. (Standard brew paths are also
+       covered by hardcoded fallbacks.)
 
-  3. SERVER-SIDE SHELL PROBE HAS NO TIMEOUT (env-runtime.js:205):
-     The server's getLoginShellEnvSnapshot() also has no timeout,
-     potentially blocking module initialization at index.js:652.
+   3. ✅ TOOLCHAIN_SEGMENTS (path-utils.js):
+       Added '/usr/local/' to TOOLCHAIN_SEGMENTS so a PATH
+       containing /usr/local/bin is recognized as user-configured.
 
-  4. FILE-SYSTEM PERMISSION ISSUE:
-     On macOS with Full Disk Protection, the Electron sandbox
-     may restrict access to files outside the app container.
+   4. ✅ VS CODE FALLBACK ORDER (opencode.ts):
+       Brew fallback order now matches server: /opt/homebrew
+       (Apple Silicon) before /usr/local (Intel).
 
-  5. BREW INSTALLATION PATH NOT COVERED:
-     If brew is installed at a custom prefix (not /opt/homebrew
-     or /usr/local), the hardcoded fallbacks won't match.

+      On macOS with Full Disk Protection, the Electron sandbox
+      may restrict access to files outside the app container.

Address bot review findings:
- Indent the three 'Fast path' comment blocks to match surrounding code
- Reproduce script header no longer claims the fast path catches brew
  paths with a minimal PATH — the hardcoded fallbacks do that; the fast
  path only sees binaries already in the inherited PATH
