What

Allowlist libASAF.dylib in the stray dylib diagnostic.

Why

DaVinci Resolve installs this library as part of Apple's Immersive Audio SDK. It is intentional and is required by the installed ASAF Audio Unit components, but brew doctor currently reports it as an unexpected unbrewed dylib.

The installed file was verified as:

  • Package: com.Apple.pkg.ASAF.SDK version 2.1.11
  • Signature authority: Developer ID Application: Apple Inc. - Apple Immersive Audio (F8U5DM6Y33)
  • Architectures: arm64 and x86_64
  • Referenced by the ASAF Audio Unit plug-ins installed in /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components

This matches the existing policy in check_for_stray_dylibs, whose allowlist contains known intentional libraries from MacFUSE, VPN clients, filesystem drivers, and endpoint-security software.

Reproduction

  1. Install DaVinci Resolve with its Immersive Audio components.
  2. Run:
brew update
brew doctor

The diagnostic reports:

Warning: Unbrewed dylibs were found in /usr/local/lib.
Unexpected dylibs:
  /usr/local/lib/libASAF.dylib

Verification

  • Confirmed the resulting diff contains one allowlist entry and no unrelated changes.
  • Ran brew lgtm successfully; typechecking passed, and Homebrew reported no style checks or directly associated tests for this file change.
  • No new test was added because this only extends the existing static allowlist.

  • Have you followed our Contributing guidelines?
  • Have you checked for other open Pull Requests for the same change?
  • Have you explained what your changes do? Performance claims (e.g. "this is faster") must include Hyperfine benchmarks.
  • Have you explained why you'd like these changes included, not just what they do?
  • For bug fixes, have you given step-by-step brew commands to reproduce the bug?
  • Have you written new tests (excluding integration tests)? Here's an example.
  • Have you successfully run brew lgtm (style, typechecking and tests) locally?

  • I did not use AI/LLM to create this PR, or I disclosed the tool/model below and reviewed its output; I did not attribute commits to AI and will answer maintainer questions and review comments myself without AI/LLM.

AI/LLM disclosure: I used OpenAI Codex to inspect the local package metadata and code signature, locate the existing allowlist, and help draft this change and description. I reviewed the one-line diff, verified the package and linkage evidence on my Mac, and ran brew lgtm successfully. I will answer maintainer questions and review comments myself without AI/LLM.
