Computer use for coding agents on macOS: JS scripts, accessibility diffs, background input.
What the code does

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.
const child = spawn(process.execPath, [cli, "daemon"], { detached: true, stdio: "ignore", env: process.env });

This code can reach further than it looks
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.
