Description

I'm seeing the same error as https://github.com/mise-plugins/vfox-postgres/issues/8, but on MacOS for command mise install postgres@latest

...

Research direction

Reproduce the failure with mise install postgres@latest on macOS and compare it with issue 8. Start at crates/vfox/src/lua_mod/hooks.rs:58, where PLUGIN.PostInstall reports the configuration error; done means PostgreSQL installs successfully on the reported environment.
