Node.js process.arch x64 architecture of Node.js binary Apple Rosetta process.platform darwin sysctl.proc_translated

💡 Result:

In Node.js, process.arch returns the architecture for which the Node.js binary itself was compiled, not the underlying CPU architecture [1]. On macOS systems with Apple Silicon, if you are running an x64 version of Node.js via the Rosetta 2 translation layer, process.arch will return 'x64' [2][3][4]. To programmatically determine if a process is currently being translated by Rosetta 2 on macOS, you can query the sysctl variable sysctl.proc_translated [2][5][6]. A value of 1 indicates the process is running under Rosetta translation, while 0 indicates a native process [2][5][6]. On Intel-based Macs or non-macOS platforms, this sysctl key does not exist, and attempting to query it may result in an error (e.g., ENOENT) if not handled properly [2][6][7]. Recommended approach for checking Rosetta status: const { spawnSync } = require('child_process'); function isRunningUnderRosetta { if (process.platform!== 'darwin') return false; try { // Queries the sysctl value. Returns 1 for Rosetta, 0 for native. const result = spawnSync('sysctl', ['-in', 'sysctl.proc_translated'], { encoding: 'utf8' }); return result.stdout.trim === '1'; } catch (err) { // Handle cases where sysctl command might not be available or fails return false; } } When building native Node.js dependencies, it is important to be aware of the environment's architecture, as running a translated x64 binary can lead to architecture mismatches during compilation [6][8]. Developers often use tools like cpu-arch or similar utilities to reliably distinguish between the process architecture and the host system's hardware architecture [3][9][10][8].

Citations:

Preserve Apple Silicon support under Rosetta.

When npm uses an x86_64 Node.js process under Rosetta, process.platform is darwin and process.arch is x64. This guard exits before selecting the available darwin-arm64 package. Detect sysctl.proc_translated == 1 and set arch to arm64 before rejecting native Intel macOS.

P1 Rosetta npm installs are rejected

When Node runs under Rosetta on Apple Silicon, process.arch is x64, so this guard exits before selecting the retained arm64 package, causing npm install mise to fail on a supported Mac.

Do not let --force bypass the unsupported-target check.

SelfUpdate::run() skips the unavailable check when self.force is true. On native macOS x86_64, is_available() now returns false, but mise self-update --force still proceeds and derives the removed macos-x64 artifact. Reject this target before the force exception so the command fails immediately with an unsupported-platform error.
