hey @Samanyu-dev can you take a look at his bug when you have time? thanks!

Hey @SickleFire, I've looked into this and opened PR #90 with the fix!

The Root Cause

The 10-minute timeout happens because macOS requires root privileges (or a specific debugger entitlement) to inspect the memory of another process using task_for_pid.

Because mvis ci was running as a standard user in action.yml, macOS blocked it and triggered a headless "Developer Tools Access" interactive prompt asking for an administrator password. Since GitHub Actions runs headlessly, this prompt was just hanging in the background until the job eventually timed out 10 minutes later.

The Fix

I updated action.yml to check the runner OS, and automatically prefix the command with sudo if it's running on macOS. Since GitHub Actions macOS runners come with passwordless sudo, it completely bypasses the interactive prompt.

CMD_PREFIX="mvis ci"

if [ "$RUNNER_OS" = "macOS" ]; then
  CMD_PREFIX="sudo mvis ci"
fi

# Then execute using the prefix:
$CMD_PREFIX "${ARGS[@]}"
