Fixes#375
Add setup troubleshooting notes for chromadb-client conflicts, LAN/Tailscale HTTPS exposure, optional dependencies, and clean up chromadb-client in the macOS starter when present.
* Load .env in start-macos.sh for APP_PORT and APP_BIND
Parses .env at startup (consistent with how app.py reads it via
python-dotenv) so APP_PORT and APP_BIND are honoured without having
to retype them on the command line every run.
Resolution order: shell env (ODYSSEUS_PORT / ODYSSEUS_HOST) → .env
(APP_PORT / APP_BIND) → built-in defaults. Existing ODYSSEUS_* shell
overrides are fully preserved.

After the venv is created, $PY still points to the Homebrew/system
interpreter, which triggers PEP 668 (externally-managed-environment)
on modern macOS. Introduce VENV_PY pointing at the venv's own
interpreter and use it for all pip installs and the final uvicorn
launch.

start-macos.sh now skips Homebrew formulae that are already installed, so re-runs no longer re-hit Homebrew. tmux and llama.cpp are treated as optional: a failed install warns and continues instead of aborting the launch under set -e. Python stays required (it builds the venv).
* macOS/Apple Silicon: detect Metal backend, surface MLX models, brew tmux hint
- hardware.py: add _detect_macos() via sysctl/system_profiler; report
backend=metal + unified_memory on Apple Silicon instead of cpu_arm
- fit.py: add Apple Silicon (M1-M5) unified-memory bandwidths + metal
FALLBACK_K so throughput estimates use the real bandwidth formula
- setup.py: Mac-specific 'brew install tmux' hint
Verified on M5 Pro 48GB: backend=metal, 273GB/s matched, 6 MLX models now
visible (were hidden), cuda still hides MLX, no new test failures.
* Fix native macOS tailnet launch and Metal GPU probe

* Add Apple Silicon (Metal) GPU detection and unified-memory fit tuning
hardware.py detects Apple Silicon locally and over SSH, reporting
backend=metal, the chip name, and a RAM-scaled fraction of unified
memory as the usable GPU budget. fit.py gains an M1-M4 memory-bandwidth
table for realistic tok/s and drops vLLM-only formats (AWQ/GPTQ/FP8)
that can't be served on Metal.

* Generate macOS/Metal serve commands and surface the Metal GPU
cookbook_routes.py adds a macOS serve path (Ollama, Metal-aware
llama.cpp build using `sysctl hw.ncpu` instead of `nproc`, and a clear
error if vLLM is attempted). The frontend defaults Metal serving to
llama.cpp and offers llama.cpp/Ollama instead of vLLM/SGLang. The
odysseus-cookbook CLI's `gpus` command reports the Metal GPU via
sysctl/vm_stat.

* Add launchd LaunchAgent for macOS (systemd equivalent)
com.odysseus.ui.plist + install-service-macos.sh run Odysseus at login
and restart on crash, the macOS counterpart to odysseus-ui.service. The
installer auto-fills paths from the venv, so there's no hand-editing.

* Document macOS install (brew, Ollama, AirPlay port, launchd)
README + setup.py cover the Homebrew / Apple Silicon path: brew install
python@3.11 tmux ollama, Metal serving via Ollama/llama.cpp, the launchd
service, and the macOS AirPlay Receiver conflict on ports 7000/5000.

* Add downloadable macOS launcher app builder
build-macos-app.sh generates dist/Odysseus.app and a drag-to-Applications
dist/Odysseus.dmg. The app starts the local server from this repo's venv and
opens the UI in a chrome-less app window (Chromium --app mode, falling back to
the default browser). It's a launcher wrapper — it drives the venv rather than
bundling Python — so the install path is baked in at build time.

* Harden macOS Cookbook support: hide MLX, fix Metal build cache
Builds on the adopted PR #213 macOS/Metal work with two fixes and tests:
- fit.py: always drop MLX-quantized models. Odysseus only generates serve
commands for llama.cpp/Ollama (Metal) and vLLM/SGLang (CUDA); MLX needs the
mlx_lm runtime and the catalog's MLX repos ship no GGUF alternative, so they
were surfaced on Apple Silicon but could never be served.
- cookbook_routes.py (macOS branch only): `rm -rf build` before configure so a
poisoned CMakeCache from a prior failed CUDA attempt can't make every later
build fail; explicit -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release; a clear "brew install cmake"
hint if cmake is missing. Linux/CUDA path unchanged.
- tests/test_hwfit_macos.py: MLX hidden on metal, MLX still hidden on CUDA
(regression guard), Metal detection on Apple Silicon, and skipped on
Linux/Intel (proves non-macOS detection is untouched).

* Propagate unified_memory flag and document macOS GPU/Docker caveat
- hardware.py: detect_system now carries the unified_memory flag from GPU
detection into the system dict (it was set by _detect_apple_silicon / AMD-APU
detection but dropped during result assembly, so the API always reported
null). Lets callers distinguish unified from discrete VRAM.
- README: prominent warning that Docker on Apple Silicon can't reach the Metal
GPU (runs a Linux VM) — Cookbook must run natively for GPU serving; fix stale
text that said Cookbook recommends MLX models (now hidden as unservable).
- test: detect_system propagates unified_memory.

* Put Odysseus's venv bin on PATH for cookbook runners
Native (non-Docker) installs run from a virtualenv whose bin holds the `hf` CLI
and `python3` the cookbook download/serve tmux scripts shell out to. Those
scripts start in a fresh login shell with the venv NOT activated, so on a native
macOS install `hf download` failed with "hf: command not found" — and the
`pip --user` self-heal missed because macOS has no bare `pip` command.
- cookbook_helpers.py: _local_tooling_path_export() — pure helper returning a
PATH export for the running interpreter's bin dir (escaped for double quotes).
- cookbook_routes.py: download + serve runners prepend that dir on local runs
(gated off SSH/Windows); swap the `pip` install fallbacks to `python3 -m pip`.
- tests: helper output for normal and spaced paths.

* Document macOS llama.cpp serving prerequisites
Clarify the two serving paths on Apple Silicon: the recommended zero-build
route (brew install llama.cpp ships a Metal llama-server Cookbook finds on PATH),
and the from-source fallback, which requires cmake + Xcode Command Line Tools.
Without those the build is skipped and serving silently degrades to a slow CPU
build, so new users now know to install them (or use the prebuilt) up front.

* Recommend only GGUF-servable models on Metal
Apple Silicon's only serving engines are llama.cpp and Ollama, both GGUF-only
(vLLM/SGLang are CUDA/ROCm and don't run on macOS). The catalog tags raw
safetensors repos with a default Q4_K_M quant, so the fit-ranking was
recommending ~397/501 models that have no GGUF and fail to serve on Metal with
"No GGUF found" (e.g. microsoft/Phi-mini-MoE-instruct).
Drop any model without a real GGUF (is_gguf/gguf_sources) on Apple Silicon —
subsumes the previous AWQ/GPTQ/FP8 special-case into one rule. On CUDA these
stay visible since vLLM serves safetensors directly. Metal recommendations go
501 -> 104, all actually servable.

* Remove macOS launchd LaunchAgent (cherry-picked extra)
Drop the launchd service from the PR #213 cherry-picks: the
install-service-macos.sh installer, the com.odysseus.ui.plist template, and the
README section documenting them. Tangential to the core Cookbook/Metal support
and not wanted. The build-macos-app.sh launcher is kept.

* Add one-command macOS quick start (start-macos.sh)
Running Odysseus natively on a Mac previously meant ~7 manual terminal steps
(brew deps, venv, activate, pip, setup.py, uvicorn with the right port) — not
friendly for a generic macOS user, and the native run is required because Docker
on macOS can't reach the Metal GPU.
- start-macos.sh: installs Homebrew deps (python@3.11, tmux, prebuilt Metal
llama.cpp), creates the venv, installs requirements, runs setup, and launches
on a non-AirPlay port (7860). Idempotent; re-run to start again.
- README: the Apple Silicon section now leads with this one-command quick start
and the clickable .app, with engine/port/manual details folded into a
collapsible block. Added a pointer at the top of the manual-install section.

* macOS quick start: auto-open browser when ready
The "open this URL" line scrolled out of view as uvicorn kept logging after it,
so users missed it. Now start-macos.sh waits (in the background) until the
server accepts connections, prints a boxed "ready" banner at that point (i.e.
after the startup burst, not before), and opens the URL in the default browser
automatically. Skippable with ODYSSEUS_NO_OPEN=1 for headless/SSH use.

* Don't assume/force a specific Python version on macOS
The README claimed "system Python is 3.9" — a machine-specific generalization
that's often wrong (macOS ships no recent Python by default; many users already
have 3.11+). Make it generic, and make start-macos.sh detect an existing
Python 3.11+ and use it, only installing python@3.11 when none is found instead
of forcing it on top of the user's Python.

* Align start-macos.sh venv path with build-macos-app.sh
start-macos.sh created the environment in .venv/, but build-macos-app.sh and
the manual install steps use venv/ — so the clickable .app wouldn't reuse the
quick-start's environment and would rebuild a second one. Use venv/ everywhere.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* README: state clearly that MLX is unsupported on Apple Silicon
Odysseus has no mlx_lm runtime; it serves GGUF (llama.cpp/Ollama) and CUDA
(vLLM/SGLang) only. MLX-only models can't run on a Mac and are hidden from
Cookbook — make that explicit in both the quick start and the details.

* start-macos.sh: build the venv with an arm64 Python on Apple Silicon
A clean-room run surfaced this: with a universal2/x86 Python (e.g. the
python.org installer under /usr/local), the venv's compiled extensions install
as arm64 but get loaded as x86_64 when launched from the .app bundle, so it
crashes with "incompatible architecture (have arm64, need x86_64)". The terminal
run happened to work only because a universal binary defaults to arm64 there.
On Apple Silicon, look only under /opt/homebrew (arm64-only) for the build
Python, and install Homebrew's python@3.11 if none is present — so the venv is
arm64-only and launches correctly from both the terminal and the .app. Intel
and non-mac paths are unchanged. Verified end-to-end in a clean clone: .app now
boots on Metal with no arch error.

* Address dev-exp review: macOS setup robustness + doc/UX fixes
From the voltagent dev-exp review of the branch:
- README: fix broken anchor links (the em-dash heading produced a slug the links
didn't match); simplify the heading to a stable slug.
- cookbook_routes.py: add /opt/homebrew/bin and /usr/local/bin to the serve PATH
so a brew-installed llama-server/ollama is found instead of falling back to a
slow source build.
- start-macos.sh: guard against an empty Python path; fail fast with a clear
message on port-in-use; ERR trap with a "safe to re-run" message; show pip
progress (drop --quiet on the slow requirements install); stop the background
browser-opener cleanly on exit/Ctrl+C (no orphaned poller).
- setup.py: bind hint to 127.0.0.1; suppress the manual run-hint when launched
by start-macos.sh (ODYSSEUS_SKIP_RUN_HINT) so the URL isn't contradictory.
- build-macos-app.sh: the .app only opens the browser once the server is
actually ready (not after the readiness timeout).
- cookbookServe.js: drop "Diffusers" from the Metal backend picker —
diffusion_server.py is CUDA-only, so it was an unservable option on macOS.
