Description
Describe the bug
CLI completions fail to install when /usr/local/share/zsh/ doesn't exist, which it won't on Apple Silicon macs because /usr is protected.
To Reproduce
- make sure
/usr/local/share/zsh/doesn't exist - run
doppler completion install - See error
Expected behavior
Either:
- it adds the file(s) to a different directory and adds it to $FPATH
- the cli supports a flag to specify a directory to place the completions and adds that directory to $FPATH
Desktop (please complete the following information):
macOS Ventura 13.6.1 (M2 MacBook Pro)
CLI Version:
v3.68.0
Additional Context
/usr requires root permissions on Apple Silicon Macs. This is why homebrew completions are installed in /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions on x86 macs and /opt/homebrew/share/zsh/site-functions on ARM machines.

Research direction
Start at the doppler completion install command and reproduce the failure with /usr/local/share/zsh/ absent on an Apple Silicon macOS system. Trace how the installer chooses its completion directory and verify that installation succeeds without protected-path access, with the completion files available through $FPATH or a supported directory option.
