Contributor guide
Research direction
Review the pip-install handling for Blender's custom-python-packages path, using the linked pull request discussion and the reported macOS PermissionError as the starting context. Done means macOS users receive a warning when that path is not writable, rather than encountering an unexplained install failure.
