Yes, I get that you needed it because we still target compilation for some much
older version of macOS (12 or 13) so that the binaries will run there (even if
it isn't supported)
I am trying to understand if when testing on macOS 26 you saw a problem you'd
not seen on earlier macOS versions.
Or if you see the problem on earlier macOS versions but only macOS 26 has a
solution.
