fix: add macOS architecture validation in install-miner.sh

[haoyousun60-create]

Summary

• Adds architecture validation for macOS in detect_platform() function
• Validates x86_64 (Intel) and arm64 (Apple Silicon) on Darwin systems
• Matches the existing Linux validation behavior

Why

The install-miner.sh script claims to support macOS (Intel/M2) in the header comments, but the detect_platform() function doesn't validate the architecture on Darwin systems, while Linux has thorough validation.

Changes

# Before
Darwin) echo "macos" ;;

# After
Darwin)
    [ "$arch" != "x86_64" ] && [ "$arch" != "arm64" ] && { echo -e "${RED}[!] Unsupported macOS architecture: $arch (Supported: x86_64, arm64)${NC}"; exit 1; }
    echo "macos" ;;

Testing

• Tested on macOS Apple Silicon (arm64) ✅
• Logic matches Linux validation pattern ✅

Fixes #3988

PR Review: #3989 — macOS architecture validation

LGTM — solid small PR.

Code quality: Clean, minimal diff (+3/-1). Follows existing Linux architecture validation pattern exactly.

Things I verified:

1. Architecture check syntax — correct bash: [ "$arch" != "x86_64" ] && [ "$arch" != "arm64" ] properly guards the error exit
2. Error message format — matches Linux RED color + supported list pattern
3. Exit code — exit 1 on unsupported arch is consistent with Linux branch
4. Supported archs — x86_64 (Intel) and arm64 (Apple Silicon M-series) are the correct macOS targets

Notes:

• PR is nearly identical to #3998 from BossChaos — looks like @haoyousun60-create may have been unaware. Consider merging #3998 instead if both are accepted.
• For completeness: Darwin) could also check $OSTYPE or $MACHTYPE for extra robustness, but the current $arch approach via uname -m is standard and sufficient.

Claim reference: This qualifies for Bounty #73 (PR Review).

🔍 Code Review — macOS Architecture Validation

Reviewed the installer architecture validation. Good addition for macOS users, but I found 1 concern:

✅ Verified

• Architecture check prevents installing wrong binary
• Clear error message when mismatch detected

⚠️ Issues Found

1. Bypass via uname -m Spoofing

• On macOS, uname -m can be spoofed via arch -arm64 or Rosetta translation
• An attacker on x86_64 Mac could run arch -arm64 ./install-miner.sh to bypass the check
• Impact: Wrong binary installed, potential crash or undefined behavior
• Fix: Use sysctl -n hw.machine or check sysctl.proc_translated for Rosetta detection

2. No Validation of Binary Integrity

• After downloading the binary, there's no checksum verification
• If the download is corrupted or MITM'd, the wrong binary runs
• Recommendation: Add shasum -a 256 check after download

📊 Summary

• Architecture check: Good first step
• Spoofing bypass: Low risk but technically possible
• Recommendation: Add binary integrity check, consider Rosetta detection
