Current evaluation

Task to re-enable disabled macOS CI tests, blocked by a libgit2 version removed from Homebrew. Created by maintainer lengau as follow-up to PR #2606 which disabled the tests. Still open, unlabelled, no activity in 155 days; tests remain commented out in workflows.

Suggested action: keep open

Reason: The issue is still valid — macOS tests remain commented out in tests.yaml and qa.yaml with explicit references to #2605. The author is a maintainer (lengau), indicating buy-in, and the task is clearly scoped. However, it requires external coordination with Homebrew charmcraft maintainers to resolve the libgit2 dependency, which may be why it has sat for 155 days without progress.

Issue body

MacOS tests have been disabled because we depend on a version of libgit2 that has been pulled from brew. Re-enable these tests. Perhaps it's worth working with the people who maintain charmcraft in homebrew on this?
