macOS CI is failing weekly tests
Metadata
Current evaluation
macOS CI weekly tests failing due to runner timeouts; tests temporarily disabled via PR #982; issue remains open but inactive for 136 days.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The issue has been inactive for 136 days and the macOS tests were temporarily disabled via PR #982 as a workaround. The underlying problem may no longer be relevant given the age of the issue (1010 days) and the lack of maintainer engagement.
