调研方向
首先针对 /Users/Shared/Herd 重现双用户安装流程，然后检查链接的 herd-crashreport.txt 以及 MySQL 和 MariaDB 的安装路径。完成的标准是：安装程序要么为第二个用户成功完成，要么显示一个可采取行动的权限错误并停止，且不会崩溃或无限旋转。

Bug description
Summary
On macOS with multiple local admin users, Herd cannot install database services (MySQL/MariaDB) if a different user previously installed Herd or a service first. The installer appears to write into a shared directory without validating write permissions/ownership up front, leading to either a crash (MariaDB) or an indefinite “spinning” install state (MySQL) with no activity.
Affected Versions
Reproduced across multiple Herd versions: 1.15 → 1.25.
Environment
• macOS
• Multiple local user accounts (both Admin)
Description / Impact
When the shared Herd directory is owned by another user (e.g., created by a prior user profile), Herd fails to install services for the current user. This blocks core functionality (installing database services) and presents as either a fatal error/crash or a stalled installation with no progress, which is difficult for users to diagnose.
Workaround
Delete the shared Herd directory and retry installation:
• Remove: /Users/Shared/Herd
• Re-run Herd and attempt the service install again.
Root Cause (Likely)
Herd installs/extracts services into a shared folder (/Users/Shared/Herd) but does not validate that the current user has write permissions (or that ownership/ACLs are correct) before attempting to write/extract.
Recommendation / Fix Proposal
1. Preflight permission checks: Before downloading/extracting services, verify write access to the target directory. If not writable, fail fast with a clear error, such as:
• “Herd cannot write to /Users/Shared/Herd because it is owned by another user. Please delete it or fix permissions.”
2. Improve error handling:
• Prevent crashes (MariaDB path) and prevent infinite spinners (MySQL path).
• Surface a visible failure state with actionable guidance.
3. Consider changing install location: If feasible, install services into the current user’s profile (e.g., ~/Library/Application Support/Herd/...) to avoid cross-user ownership issues entirely. If a shared folder is required, ensure Herd sets the correct ownership/ACLs during setup and handles multi-user scenarios explicitly.
Steps to reproduce
1. Create (or use) User A (Admin) and User B (Admin) on the same Mac.
2. Log in as User A.
3. Install Herd.
4. Install a database service (e.g., MySQL or MariaDB) through Herd.
5. Uninstall that service through Herd (optional, but reproduces either way consistently).
6. Log out and switch to User B.
7. Open Herd and attempt to install a database service.
Expected Result
Herd successfully installs the selected service, or it fails fast with a clear, actionable error message if permissions prevent installation.
Actual Result
• MariaDB: Herd encounters a fatal error and crashes during install.
• MySQL: Herd downloads and starts extraction, then becomes stuck “spinning” indefinitely with no CPU or disk activity.
