Running chirp .app bundles from ~/Downloads was observed to fail on recent versions of OS X. This is because a OS X security feature called App Translocation is actually executing the .app bundle from a temporary read-only disk image, and the chirp launch script attempts to modify the contents of the app bundle.
This patch avoids modifying the .app bundle when App Translocation is active.
Sweet, thanks! However, is there any reason to just not modify it ever? I'm not sure what I was thinking when I wrote that. It might've been part of some debugging or something.
Anyway, I applied this because it's better, but we might consider removing the modification bit altogether.
