helper keeps failing in flyenv 4.20 after macos 27, Terminal exited with code 5

[Quaint Quail]

Not sold on the xattr fix being the full answer here.

Helper program installation failed.: Error: Terminal exited with code 5

Theory going round is the FlyEnv helper installer copies com.apple.quarantine onto the LaunchDaemon plist, so launchctl won't bootstrap it. Stripping it with sudo xattr works for some, but one report says the popup still shows on 4.20 after that.

4.20.1 is meant to sort it. Meant to.

dev closed the github issue for this as completed and 4.20.2 has another helper install change in it, it clears the quarantine attribute before running now and also waits for the old helper to stop during an upgrade, so probably worth updating first before messing with xattr again
