Menubar can’t find codeburn from user-managed Node PATH

[vaibhavarora14]

Problem

On macOS, the menubar app can fail with:

env: codeburn: No such file or directory

when codeburn is installed under user-managed Node paths (for example via nvm). GUI-launched apps often inherit a reduced PATH, so the binary is not found even though it works in Terminal.

Impact

• Menubar refresh silently fails for affected users.
• The app appears broken despite a valid CLI install.
• Users with nvm/volta/asdf/npm-global layouts are disproportionately affected.

Reproduction

1. Install codeburn in a user-managed Node location (e.g. nvm under ~/.nvm/versions/node/.../bin).
2. Launch CodeBurn menubar app from Finder (not from an interactive shell).
3. Trigger refresh.
4. Observe error: env: codeburn: No such file or directory.

Root Cause

The menubar process used GUI environment PATH values that can omit user-managed Node bin directories.

Proposed / Implemented Approach

• Augment menubar process PATH with known locations (/opt/homebrew/bin, /usr/local/bin) and discovered user bins (~/.volta/bin, ~/.npm-global/bin, ~/.asdf/shims, and nvm Node version bins containing an executable codeburn).
• Cache discovered user PATH entries as a one-time computation so refreshes do not repeatedly rescan filesystem directories.
• Add deterministic tests for:
  • nvm executable/bin discovery behavior
  • PATH augmentation dedupe behavior

Notes

No debug instrumentation should be kept in production for this fix line.
