…ily canary UTV.app loads its third-party libraries from the user's Homebrew. When Homebrew upgraded OpenColorIO 2.5 to 2.6, dyld aborted UTV-bin before any of its code ran, so the 2026.9 release stopped starting with no window, log or dialog (#85). - The launcher starts `UTV-bin -version` (under 0.1s) before the real launch. If dyld fails it names the library and the command that fixes it, in a dialog when started from Finder and on stderr from a terminal. UTV_SKIP_LIBRARY_CHECK=1 skips the check. - homebrew-canary.yml installs the current release from the tap every day with that day's Homebrew, checks that the app and tools start, and opens an issue when they do not. - Fix the launcher's terminal hint, which gave a wrong URL for the tap. - AGENTS.md 1.5 records that the libraries are intentionally not bundled.

Summary
UTV.apploads its third-party libraries from the user's Homebrew. Homebrew upgraded OpenColorIO from 2.5 to 2.6; OCIO puts its version in every C++ symbol, so the 2026.9 release aborted in dyld before running any code: no window, no log, no dialog (#85). The same happens in reverse when a new UTV is installed over older libraries.UTV-bin -version, which loads and binds every library in under 0.1 s. If dyld fails, it reports which library does not match and the fix (brew update && brew upgrade && brew upgrade --cask utv): a dialog with "Update with Homebrew" / "Copy Command" when started from Finder, a message on stderr from a terminal. A check that cannot run, times out, or fails for any other reason never blocks the launch.UTV_SKIP_LIBRARY_CHECK=1skips it.homebrew-canary.ymlinstalls the current release from the tap on a clean macOS runner with that day's Homebrew, startsUTV-bin,utvioandutvlsand loads every format plugin, and opens (or comments on) an issue when that fails.AGENTS.md§1.5 records that the libraries are intentionally not bundled.Verification
UTV could not load opencolorio 2.5.2_1, the fix command and dyld's details, and exits 1.Refs #85
