   Thanks, the current code confirms the mismatch: non-Linux snapshots return empty telemetry, while the hibernation test expects a private-memory notice. Please open the focused snapshot PR you mentioned, including the macOS test results. The native task_info layout and memory-metric mapping need macOS validation; I am leaving this open rather than weakening the assertion or claiming a Linux-only run verifies the native implementation.

   The proposed fix (task_info with MACH_TASK_BASIC_INFO + TASK_VM_INFO, raw word buffer, phys_footprint as Pss_Anon) is now in PR #1880, along with a presence-check regression test. Verified green on macOS: process_memory suite 11/11 and the hibernation test that asserted private mem passes.

   Linking so the issue closes when the PR merges.

   Same root cause, and I have made the assertion portable in #1964. Please read the last paragraph before merging it, because it deliberately does not do what this issue asks for.

   What #1964 does not do: it does not implement the macOS snapshot. crates/jcode-base/src/process_memory.rs is untouched. The task_info work described above and in #1880 is still the right fix, and this issue should stay open until that lands.

   What it does do: line 507 stops asserting a reading the platform never produces.

   if private_memory_bytes().is_some() {
       assert!(screen.contains("private mem"));
   } else {
       assert!(screen.contains("type to resume"));
   }

   with a comment naming 44986bedb, the cfg(target_os = "linux") / cfg(windows) gating in process_memory.rs, and the fact that CI only runs this target on Linux.

   I know the position recorded here is to leave the assertion alone rather than weaken it, so the reasoning matters. This is a capability check, not a relaxation: whenever private_memory_bytes() returns a value the test still demands private mem. On Linux and Windows nothing changes at all. On macOS the branch flips to the private mem assertion the moment #1880 or any equivalent lands, so no coverage is lost when the real fix arrives.

   The practical reason I did it anyway: #1880 is currently 92 files and red on Format, Build & Test (ubuntu-latest) and Build & Test (macos-latest), so it is not a near-term merge. In the meantime cargo test -p jcode-tui --lib on macOS master fails once out of 2969 tests on a clean checkout, which is exactly the kind of thing that trains people to ignore the suite. Verified on this branch: serial CI command cargo test -p jcode-tui --lib -- --test-threads=1 --skip test_prompt_entry_shimmer_color_moves_across_positions --skip right_fact_stack_uses_neutral_gray_except_for_context_usage → 2968 passed; 0 failed; 19 ignored on macOS.

   Your call. If you would rather keep the assertion unconditional and let #1880 close this, say so and I will drop the single commit (ff9d12d9c) from #1964. It is isolated: nothing else in the branch depends on it.

   Separately, since it is the blocking item here: #1880 would be much easier to review as two pieces. The macOS task_info implementation plus process_memory/tests.rs is the part this issue needs; the other ~88 files are test-file restructuring and the regenerated budget JSON, and those appear to be what the Format job is rejecting.
