Three reported from a colleague's machine, plus one the fixing uncovered. Every one produced a message that was true and useless. ## behavision-setup chose the Python least likely to work findPython walked 3.14, 3.13, 3.12, 3.11, 3.10 and took the first hit - a floor with NO ceiling, which is exactly backwards. The newest Python on a machine is the one least likely to have binary wheels. It picked 3.14, pip found no numpy wheel for cp314, fell back to building numpy from source and produced "Unknown compiler(s)"; once the operator had installed Xcode's command line tools to get past that, ten minutes of compiling ended in "<arm_neon.h> is intended only for ARM and AArch64 targets". maxMinor refuses in one line before anything is downloaded, and "too new" is a different message from "too old" - telling somebody holding Python 3.14 that no Python was found sends them to install a newer one, which is the direction that just failed. ## numpy<2.0 was the cap; OpenCV was the hazard Widening it needed proof, and the proof found something else. Nine runs of the detector guard per combination, one machine, one sitting: numpy 1.26 / cv2 4.11 9 passed, 0 crashed numpy 2.0 / cv2 4.11 8 passed, 1 crashed numpy 1.26 / cv2 4.14 3 passed, 6 crashed numpy 2.0 / cv2 4.14 2 passed, 7 crashed numpy is not the variable; OpenCV is - the third row is numpy 1.26. The crash was test_a_shared_detector_really_does_race, which races a shared cv2.FaceDetectorYN on purpose. That is undefined behaviour in C++: 4.11 usually turned it into an exception, 4.14 usually turns it into a segfault, and 4.11 crashing once says the hazard was always there. It never reached the product - Engine._build_worker builds a detector per camera. It reached the suite: two runs in three died with no failing assertion in them. The race runs in a subprocess now, and one clean attempt proves nothing, so the premise holds if any of several attempts misbehaves. 226 passed / 2 skipped on numpy 2.0.2, five runs of five. opencv stays capped below 5: everything above was measured on 4.x, and an uncapped >=4.8.1 gives every NEW install a major release this project has never run a real camera through. ## One MQTT client id for a whole shop, so two PCs fought over it behavision-<client>-<site> is the same string on every computer claimed to one site. MQTT requires unique client ids and a broker enforces it by disconnecting the older session, so the colleague's Mac and the shop's own till took turns kicking each other off: broker connected / broker connection lost: EOF / broker connected / EOF ... The damage is not confined to the new machine. The till is the other half of that loop, so signing in on a laptop to look at the product stops a live shop delivering visits - and from each end it reads as an unstable network. MQTTClientID() appends a per-installation id, minted on first load and written back so an existing install gets one without anybody doing anything. The site stays in the name because that is what a broker log is read by. An unwritable config falls back to a per-run id rather than a shared one. ## "no such file or directory" for an engine nobody had installed Pressing Start went straight to the supervisor, which reported what exec reported: a 200-character path ending in "no such file or directory". Every word true, none of it saying "run the setup tool" - the startup path had that sentence, in a log file nobody on a shop counter opens. engineMissing() is the one function the startup path, the Start button and the status panel all consult. It also names App Translocation, which was in that path and is unguessable: macOS runs a downloaded unsigned app from a random read-only copy, so relative paths resolve inside it and an install there would not survive a restart. The product is unsigned, so that is the normal first-run state on every Mac, not an edge case.
