docs(pack-app): correct Rosetta direction in darwin-x64 fallback note

zkochan · zkochan · commit 36d962f65bc6 · 2026-05-04T14:12:44.000+02:00
Rosetta translates x64 -&gt; arm64 for Apple Silicon, not arm64 -&gt; x64,
so Intel Macs cannot run a darwin-arm64 build under Rosetta.

-If you need to ship a CLI that runs on Intel Macs, build the `darwin-x64` artifact with a non-SEA tool such as [`@yao-pkg/pkg`](https://github.com/yao-pkg/pkg) (which appends to the binary tail rather than mutating Mach-O sections), or skip the target and direct users to the `darwin-arm64` build under Rosetta.

Note that Rosetta is *not* an escape hatch — it only translates x64 → arm64 (for Apple Silicon Macs running Intel binaries), not the other direction, so Intel Macs cannot run a `darwin-arm64` build.
