Summary

  • build ArrowVortex as a macOS 12+ CMake app bundle with the existing OpenGL renderer
  • add an Objective-C++ native menu backend with Command shortcuts, About, Quit, checked/enabled state, and submenus
  • replace blocking file dialogs with SDL3 asynchronous callbacks processed on the main loop
  • separate bundled resources from writable preferences and logs
  • normalize Retina window, resize, scale-change, and mouse coordinates
  • add Windows/Linux/macOS CMake presets and a bounded --smoke-test mode

Local verification

  • configured and built macos-local-debug on Apple Silicon
  • validated the generated Info.plist and bundle resources
  • launched through LaunchServices and verified the rendered window and native menus
  • opened and cancelled the native asynchronous file picker without deadlock
  • verified preference/log output under the SDL preference directory
  • clang-format check passes

This PR is stacked on the Linux baseline PR and will be retargeted to main after that PR lands.
