Summary

  • run the Linux-only Grok Bot host and backend shim inside the Computer container on Intel macOS
  • load repository-local environment overrides across setup and lifecycle scripts
  • extract the complete host runtime, including worker entrypoints
  • wait for the authenticated gateway health endpoint before opening the UI
  • document the macOS runtime layout and ignore generated state

Verification

  • npm run setup
  • npm run doctor
  • npm run check
  • npm test (4 passing)
  • provider-backed SendMessage tool call through GPT-5.6 Luna
  • native Grok Bot 0.30 UI on Intel macOS sent a prompt through the containerized 0.24 host and rendered the exact provider reply

All published services remain bound to loopback.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for running the application on Intel macOS with an extracted Linux runtime.
    • Added configurable network binding and optional container-based runtime support.
    • Added setup and environment examples for macOS, Docker, and optional integrations.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved application startup, health checks, cleanup, and process management across local and container environments.
    • Ensured the application launches in its standard mode rather than Electron’s Node-only mode.
  • Documentation

    • Updated requirements and quick-start instructions for Linux and Intel macOS.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds Intel macOS support by running the Linux x64 Grok Bot host runtime and shim inside the Computer container. It updates environment loading, runtime extraction, container orchestration, host execution, shim control, health checks, prerequisites, and documentation.

Changes

Intel macOS container runtime

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration and runtime preparation
.env.example, .gitignore, scripts/setup.sh, scripts/doctor.sh, README.md
Defines macOS runtime variables, ignores generated paths, extracts the full host runtime, checks the agent isolation worker, and documents Intel macOS setup.
Computer container startup
computerctl.sh
Loads environment settings, validates and mounts the runtime, maps required ports, mounts optional authentication data, and uses platform-specific open commands.
Containerized host execution
run-host.sh, run-recon.sh
Runs or stops the host process inside grokbot-computer on macOS, remaps runtime settings, selects the host application, and clears ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE.
Shim control and gateway health
shimctl.sh, shim/server.mjs, run-all.sh
Starts and stops the shim in container mode, supports a configurable bind host, and uses authenticated health checks for readiness and cleanup.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0e26a

The macOS runtime path can reuse an incompletely configured existing container, while custom gateway credentials may cause healthy services to be misdetected and unrelated processes to be stopped; the shim’s container-wide listener also increases exposure to reachable peer workloads. Merge should wait for these lifecycle, configuration, and network-boundary risks to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

Inline comments:
In `@computerctl.sh`:
- Around line 60-66: Update the existing-container handling in computerctl.sh to
validate that a container created without runtime mode has the required 8443 and
8550 port mappings plus /grokbot-shim and /opt/Grok Bot mounts before starting
it. When the configuration is missing or mismatched, recreate the container or
fail with a clear instruction to remove it so the docker run path can apply
EXTRA_ARGS.

In `@README.md`:
- Around line 50-51: Update the Quick start instructions around npm run setup
and ./run-all.sh so the platform-specific setup paths are mutually exclusive:
clearly label that block as Linux-only and instruct macOS users to skip it, or
place the macOS runtime extraction and GROKBOT_RUNTIME_DIR configuration steps
before those commands.

In `@scripts/setup.sh`:
- Line 63: Update the setup script’s host distribution copy step to remove and
recreate $ROOT/host/dist/host before copying extracted files, ensuring deleted
or renamed generated files from a new app.asar do not persist across reruns.
