Thanks for the PR. Let's revisit this when macOS27 goes out of beta. Maybe we don't need this fix by then. |

Summary
HOMEandUSERwhen macOS 27SMAppServiceomits them.Problem
On macOS 27.0, the
SMAppServiceLaunchAgentstarts as the logged-in user but does not receiveHOMEorUSER. Running under the user's UID does not create the environment of a login shell.Without
HOME,skhdcannot find~/.config/skhd/skhdrcand falls back to a relativeskhdrcpath. Startup then fails withFileNotFound.The missing variables also break the daemon log path and PID-file name. The daemon uses
/tmp/skhd_unknown.pid, whileskhd --statuslooks for the current user's PID file.ensureUserEnvironmentreads the current account withgetpwuid(getuid()). It sets only the missing variables, so terminal launches and explicit environment overrides keep their existing values.Verification
zig build testgit diff --checkzig build sign-app -Doptimize=ReleaseFast26A5421a.LaunchAgentthroughSMAppServicewith the repository's defaultskhd-certidentity.skhd --statusreports the daemon running, the event tap active, and Input Monitoring granted.
