Description
On macOS, inspecting the memory of another process using
task_for_pidrequiresroot(sudo) privileges unless the process has a specific debugger entitlement. Becausemvis ciwas running withoutsudo, macOS was blocking it and triggering a headless "Developer Tools Access" interactive prompt asking for authentication. Since it's a headless CI environment with no user to click the prompt, the step was silently hanging until a 10-minute timeout occurred.This PR updates
action.ymlto automatically prefixmvis ciwithsudowhen running onmacOS(GitHub Actions macOS runners are configured with passwordless sudo), allowing the tests to complete successfully and quickly. Fixes #89.Type of change
