Homebrew 4.5 (April 2026) stopped auto-tapping cross-tap
dependencies declared in formulae, as a security + performance
change. The px4-dev meta-formula pulled in packages from
osx-cross/arm, PX4/px4, and discoteq/discoteq, so 'brew install
px4-dev' now aborts before any real work unless every tap has been
added explicitly. On macos-latest CI runners the chain broke at the
first unreachable dep (discoteq/discoteq/flock) and subsequent make
steps failed with 'ccache: command not found'.
Since Tools/setup/macos.sh is the canonical install path and already
tapped osx-cross/arm and PX4/px4 before calling brew install, the
simplest fix is to inline the package list and call brew install
directly. The px4-dev meta-formula will be kept upstream as a
deprecated no-op so older copies of macos.sh on long-lived branches
and cached Docker images keep working.
The inlined package list is the same set px4-dev depended on, minus
the dead-weight flock dependency that hadn't been invoked in the PX4
build since the NuttX 9.1.x era. See the accompanying PX4/homebrew-px4
PR for formula changes.
Docs updated to match: docs/en/dev_setup/dev_env_mac.md no longer
names the px4-dev formula, describes the package list directly.
Verified locally on macOS ARM64:
- ./Tools/setup/macos.sh runs to completion with both taps and all 13
packages resolving correctly
- make distclean && make px4_fmu-v6x_default builds successfully

* fix(macos.sh): invert px4-sim install condition for --sim-tools
The condition checked if px4-sim WAS installed before running
brew install, meaning it would never install on a fresh system.
Add the missing negation so it installs when NOT already present.
