The runner failed on stock macOS endpoints: /usr/bin/git is an Xcode CLT stub that dies headless (no GUI session), and jq isn't present without Homebrew. Both are now gone, so render/runner work with only system tools. - runner.sh: fetch the repo tarball via curl + tar (codeload) instead of git init/fetch/checkout. - render.sh: build config JSON with printf + a small awk/sed escaper instead of jq; output matches jq's pretty-print byte-for-byte. - render-plist.sh: build the profile envelope with printf and let plutil parse + convert it (plutil also validates), dropping jq. plutil stays (macOS-native). - Regenerated examples/claude/settings.windows.json (was stale vs the generator). - Docs: state each script's real prerequisites. All five examples reproduce byte-for-byte from the rewritten scripts under a system-only PATH. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Why
The Cursor runner failed on stock macOS endpoints under an MDM:
xcode-select: error: No developer tools were found …—/usr/bin/gitis a Command Line Tools stub that can't self-install in a headless (no-GUI) root session.render.sh: error: jq is required—jqisn't present without Homebrew.Both dependencies are now removed, so
render.sh/runner.shrun with only tools that ship with macOS and Linux.What changed
runner.sh— fetches the repo tarball viacurl+tarfromcodeload.github.com/.../tar.gz/$REFinstead ofgit init/fetch/checkout. Same source of truth andREFpinning; only the transport changed.render.sh— builds config JSON withprintf+ a smallawk/sedJSON escaper instead ofjq. Output matches jq's pretty-print byte-for-byte.render-plist.sh— builds the profile envelope withprintfand letsplutilparse + convert it (which also validates), droppingjq.plutilstays (macOS-native, required to emit a real profile).examples/claude/settings.windows.json— regenerated (it was stale vs. even the previous generator).curl+tar,plutil,sh+awk+sed).Verification
examples/reproduce byte-for-byte from the rewritten scripts, run under a system-onlyPATH(/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin) to prove nojq/git/Homebrew.--envvalues (quotes, backslash,$, spaces).sh -nclean; bad-input paths still reject with a nonzero exit.No behavior change to the generated configs — only the tooling used to produce them.
