Description

mac install script does not maintain +x bit on the executable during decompression. See original report and issue https://github.com/microsoft/artifacts-credprovider/issues/663#issuecomment-5094292639.

looks like tar on the .zip file is the issue in the install script logic. Known workaround - manual installation.

install scripts.

Client/protocol path in use

Research direction

Start by locating the macOS install script and its archive-extraction logic, then reproduce the missing +x bit using the reported MacOs-* environment. Done means the installed executable remains executable after decompression and the NuGet plugin path works without the manual-installation workaround.
