Research direction

Search the macos-alias code for deprecated Buffer() calls and compare each use with the warning's recommended Buffer.alloc(), Buffer.allocUnsafe(), or Buffer.from() methods. Run the macos-alias code under Node.js and confirm the DEP0005 warning no longer appears.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
