As per
https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAPUEspg1cJC_UwjJFx-jnzWsascY++S3UgM1UCLRcnK_Mv2wOg@mail.gmail.com/,
I believe that the macOS breakages have been confirmed to be addressed by
`pw/single-key-interactive` (which was merged in 32f3ac26e03, i.e. it was
included in v2.36.0).

Therefore, right now might be a good time to advance the
`js/use-builtin-add-i` series.

Thanks,
Dscho
