Bundle the bpm CLI inside the .app for a single-cask Mac install - #14
Merged
Conversation
Real Homebrew constraint found live: a Formula cannot depend on a Cask (depends_on cask: is Cask-only DSL - confirmed by error), and a Formula's install step runs sandboxed, blocked from writing to /Applications at all (Operation not permitted, confirmed by trying it directly). Only Casks are allowed to touch /Applications, by design. So the app now also embeds the plain bpm CLI binary (CGO_ENABLED=0, same MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET pin as bpm-tray) alongside bpm-tray inside Contents/MacOS/ - the Homebrew Cask (next commit, in the tap repo) points its `binary` stanza at that same executable, so one `brew install --cask` gives both the CLI on PATH and the app in /Applications. Dropped the now-unused raw bpm-tray tarball artifact. Verified locally: built both binaries, assembled the .app, zipped/unzipped fresh, symlinked the embedded bpm the same way a cask's binary stanza would, confirmed both bpm --help-equivalent output and the tray server work from inside the same bundle.

Homebrew Formulas can't depend on Casks, and a Formula's install step is sandboxed from writing to /Applications at all - confirmed both by trying it. So the .app now embeds both bpm-tray and the plain bpm CLI; the Cask's binary stanza (next: homebrew-public) points at the embedded bpm, so one brew install --cask gives you both the CLI and the app. Verified locally end-to-end.
