Bug: The Makefile uses xargs -r, which is a GNU-specific flag. This will cause the command to fail on macOS, which uses BSD xargs by default.
Severity: MEDIUM
Suggested Fix
Remove the -r flag from the xargs command. The default behavior of BSD xargs (used on macOS) is to not run the command if the input is empty, which achieves the same goal. This change will make the command compatible with both GNU and BSD systems.

Location: dev-packages/e2e-tests/Makefile#L8
Potential issue: The `make run` command in `dev-packages/e2e-tests/Makefile` pipes
output to `xargs -r`. The `-r` flag is a GNU extension and is not supported by the BSD
version of `xargs` that is the default on macOS. Since the project's documentation
explicitly instructs macOS users to install dependencies using Homebrew, it is a primary
target development platform. Consequently, any developer on macOS attempting to use this
documented command will encounter an `xargs: illegal option -- r` error, preventing the
test runner from executing.

xargs -r flag incompatible with macOS
High Severity
The xargs -r flag is a GNU extension not available in BSD xargs on macOS. Since the documentation instructs users to install fzf via brew (macOS-specific), the Makefile will fail on macOS with error xargs: illegal option -- r. This prevents the entire feature from working on its primary target platform.

Bash-specific redirection syntax breaks on POSIX shells
High Severity
The &> redirection syntax is bash-specific and not POSIX-compliant. Since the Makefile doesn't specify SHELL := /bin/bash, it defaults to /bin/sh which is dash on many Linux systems including Ubuntu. This causes a syntax error preventing the fzf check from working on non-bash systems. The POSIX-compliant alternative is >/dev/null 2>&1.

We have many e2e test apps and it can be cumbersome to type in which exact app you want to run. This PR adds a Makefile that uses
fzfto give a better experience:Screenshot.2026-01-23.at.12.01.44.mp4
