## Problem
The Go server build pipeline (`build.sh` + CMake + CGO bindings) was
tested on Ubuntu only. On macOS arm64 with Homebrew it fails in five
orthogonal places. None of these require platform-specific code paths —
the same source builds on both Linux and Darwin after these fixes.
## Reproduction (before)
```
$ uname -a
Darwin … 25.4.0 arm64
$ brew install cmake pcre2 simde
$ bash build.sh
…
error: 'simde/x86/sse4.1.h' file not found
error: implicit instantiation of undefined template 'std::basic_istringstream<char>'
error: no matching function for call to 'Join'
…
clang: error: no such file or directory: '/usr/local/lib/libpcre2-8.a'
```
## Fix (5 small, orthogonal changes)
### 1. `internal/cpp/CMakeLists.txt` — find Homebrew + libpcre2-8
portably
- Detect Apple platforms via `if(APPLE)`, call `brew --prefix` once, add
`${HOMEBREW_PREFIX}/include` and `${HOMEBREW_PREFIX}/lib`. No effect on
Linux.
- Replace the literal `libpcre2-8.a` link token (which only the Linux
linker finds in `/usr/local/lib` by default) with
`find_library(PCRE2_LIB NAMES pcre2-8 REQUIRED)`. Works on
`/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu` (Debian/Ubuntu), `/usr/local/lib` (Intel Mac
& legacy Linux), `/opt/homebrew/lib` (Apple Silicon).
### 2. `internal/cpp/wordnet_lemmatizer.cpp` +
`internal/cpp/rag_analyzer.cpp` — explicit `#include <sstream>`
libstdc++ (Linux) pulls `<sstream>` in transitively via `<fstream>`;
libc++ (Apple Clang) doesn't, so the existing `std::istringstream` /
`std::ostringstream` uses fail to compile on macOS. One-line include in
each file.
### 3. `internal/cpp/rag_analyzer.cpp` — `Join` template overload fix
`Join(tokens, start, tokens.size(), delim)` at line 146 passes `size_t`
to an `int` parameter. C++23 strict mode in Apple Clang refuses the
implicit narrowing and reports the 4-arg overload as a substitution
failure, leaving the call ambiguous between the 3-arg and 4-arg
templates. Fix: explicit `static_cast<int>(tokens.size())`. Behaviour
identical on libstdc++ — the narrowing was always intentional.
### 4. `internal/binding/rag_analyzer.go` — split darwin CGO LDFLAGS
The existing `#cgo darwin LDFLAGS: ... /usr/local/lib/libpcre2-8.a` only
matches Intel Macs. Apple Silicon Homebrew installs to `/opt/homebrew`.
Split into `darwin,arm64` and `darwin,amd64` build constraints with the
right absolute path on each.
### 5. `build.sh` — accept Homebrew path in the pcre2 sanity check
The sanity check looked at two Linux paths only and then fell through to
`sudo apt -y install libpcre2-dev` on failure. Added
`/opt/homebrew/lib/libpcre2-8.a`, and on Darwin failure now exits
cleanly with the right `brew install pcre2` hint instead of trying
`apt`.
## Verified
- `bash build.sh` now completes on macOS arm64 (Apple Silicon, brew 4.x,
cmake 4.x, Apple Clang 17, Go 1.25, pcre2 10.x, simde 0.8.x).
- Produced binaries: `bin/server_main`, `bin/admin_server`,
`bin/ragflow_cli`.
- `bin/server_main` boots, connects MySQL, runs migrations, loads the 64
model provider configs cleanly.
- Still builds on Linux — the CMake additions are inside an `if(APPLE)`
guard, the `find_library` call matches Linux paths too, the build.sh
check still tries `apt` when not on Darwin.
## Out of scope
The Go server itself currently fails at runtime when not pointing at
Elasticsearch (`Failed to initialize doc engine: failed to ping
Elasticsearch`), but that's the placeholder Infinity engine documented
in `internal/engine/README.md` — unrelated to this build patchset.

Happy to split this into smaller PRs if you'd prefer (one per file). The
five changes are independent.
