Set up a render Mac and start its worker

FIXES → "Apple could not verify…" blocking the scripts, or a Mac that shows online but never claims work.

The Team view flagging a Mac that is online but has no worker running — Captured from the real gateway on a demo farm

01 Install the toolchain

Installs Homebrew, uv, LTX2-MLX and mflux — mostly unattended.

on every render Mac

./setup.command

02 If Gatekeeper blocks it

macOS may say “can’t be opened / Apple could not verify…”. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down, and click Open Anyway.

03 Join the farm

Starts the worker: it publishes this Mac to the Team view and begins claiming jobs. A Mac with the app open but no worker running gets flagged, so “online” never quietly means “idle”.

then

./start_worker.command

Done when The Mac appears in everyone’s Team view with a live worker, and picks up the next queued job.
