Research direction
Start at index.js:13 and trace the startup call through fix-path and shell-path/index.js:33-51, using the reported execFileSync stack as the guide. Reproduce the macOS startup error and identify why a null value reaches SyncWriteStream.write. Done means the app starts without this uncaught exception.
