puppeteer / macos

I'm running into an issue when installing on macos. Help is very much appreciated!

For others who might run into this: this is a specific problem on osx mit M1

Workaround available for M1 Macs -- see my full comment, but excerpt is below puppeteer/puppeteer#5662

I ended up patching the os.arch() at the following path, homebrew/lib/node_modules/roam-research-private-api/node_modules/puppeteer/lib/cjs/puppeteer/node/Launcher.js

chromeExecutable = '/opt/homebrew/bin/chromium';
