Confused by this. Seems to only happen on darwin-x64 and wasn't happening previously. Is npm pack definitely at fault?

Opus might have been lying about it due to leading. We should remove this anyway and go with the pipeline approach in https://github.com/microsoft/node-pty/pull/866/changes

node-pty@1.1.0 ships spawn-helper and pty.node without the execute bit (mode 644), causing "posix_spawnp failed" when vipershell tries to open a PTY for a terminal session. Add a postinstall script that fixes the permissions after npm install, including global installs. The upstream bug is tracked in microsoft/node-pty#850 and fixed in microsoft/node-pty#858 and microsoft/node-pty#866, but only available in prerelease (1.2.0-beta.x) so far.
