Summary
macOS on
aarch64(Apple Silicon) is already listed as a supported platform for Chef Infra Client, but there is no native installer for it. Added a note under the Chef Infra Client supported platforms table clarifying that Chef Habitat must be used to install on this platform.Also updated the macOS tarball install instructions to use the migration tool (
migrate-ice apply) to download and install Chef Infra Client in one step, instead of separatecurl/tarcommands.This work was completed with AI assistance following Progress AI policies
