Describe the bug

Bug: macOS Intel (x86_64) app crashes on startup - missing @parcel/watcher-darwin-x64 Environment Onlook version: 0.2.32 macOS: Sequoia 15.7.3 Architecture: Intel x86_64 Description

The application crashes immediately on startup before any UI is displayed.

I downloaded both:

Onlook-x64.dmg Onlook-x64.zip

Both versions produce the same error.

Steps to reproduce Download Onlook-x64.dmg or Onlook-x64.zip from Release 0.2.32. Install and launch the application on a macOS Intel machine. The application crashes immediately. Expected behavior

The application should start normally and display the Onlook interface.

Actual behavior

The application crashes during startup with the following error:

Uncaught Exception: Error: No prebuild or local build of @parcel/watcher found. Tried @parcel/watcher-darwin-x64.

Please ensure it is installed (don't use --no-optional when installing with npm). Otherwise it is possible we don't support your platform yet. If this is the case, please report an issue to https://github.com/parcel-bundler/watcher.

at Object. (/Applications/Onlook.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar/node_modules/@parcel/watcher/index.js:26:13) Additional information

The application binary appears to be built for Intel correctly:

file /Applications/Onlook.app/Contents/MacOS/*

Output:

/Applications/Onlook.app/Contents/MacOS/Onlook: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

This suggests the app is running the Intel build but the required @parcel/watcher-darwin-x64 dependency may not be included in the packaged release.
