i want to find how to fix this ,but i even dont known what's the name of this mechanic.

btw, if we not do patching in macos , that is zsh-bin binary is not relocate in macos , so the relocate feature is only working in linux , right?

Yes, I think so.

macOS comes with zsh 5.9 by default. What are you trying to achieve by installing zsh 5.8 via zsh-bin?
