macOS attributes Local Network permission to a code signature and judges a
launchd-spawned process on its own, rather than letting it inherit the grant
of the Terminal that started it. Homebrew ships Python unsigned on Intel, so
there is no identity for the grant to attach to: every connection to a LAN
address is dropped with no error the application can log and no permission
prompt. The printer reads as unreachable and nothing says why, and the entry
in Privacy & Security cannot be made to work because it refers to an identity
that no longer resolves.
install.sh signs during a macOS install; update_macos.sh re-checks on every
update, because `brew upgrade python` installs a fresh unsigned binary under
a new versioned path.
Both sign only what is currently unsigned. That gate is load-bearing: on
arm64 the linker ad-hoc signs every binary and the identity is a hash of the
file, so re-signing would rotate it and revoke a working grant on each update.
A python.org build carries a real Developer ID and must not be downgraded for
the same reason.
The interpreter and the framework's Python.app are both signed. The first is
what sys._base_executable resolves to and what the reporter's TCC log names;
the second is what his fix actually targeted. Which one macOS attributes
could not be established from either, and signing both costs nothing.
-----
fix(diagnostics): name the macOS permission that silently blocks the printer (issue #3114)
The port checks reported all three ports unreachable while the subnet check
passed, and port_mqtt's fix text sent the reporter after firewalls and IP
addresses. On a macOS native install that pattern has a cause neither of
those covers: no Local Network grant, denied with no error and no prompt.
A new macos_local_network check, appended on macOS only so no permanently
dimmed row appears for anyone else. It passes when the control port answered,
which is proof the permission is in place and means the signature probe never
runs on a healthy diagnostic. Otherwise it probes the interpreter: an
unsigned one gets the repair that fixes it, a signed one gets System Settings
— the arm64 case, where the identity is a hash of the binary, so a Python
upgrade presents macOS with a new application and strands the old grant.
Always warn, never fail, and only once port_mqtt has already failed, so this
can never be why a green diagnostic turns red. A printer that is simply
switched off produces the same all-ports-dead pattern, which is why the
signature, not the pattern, is what earns the specific advice. An
undeterminable signature is reported as the generic case rather than as
unsigned: that advice rewrites a file in the user's Python installation and
must not be offered on a guess.
