Julia 1 - macOS-latest - pull_request was failing with SIGSEGV in the DMPlex/PetscFE test path. The existing skip logic only covered Intel macOS, so Apple Silicon macOS runners still executed the crashing code.

  • Scope of fix

    • Updated /test/dmplex.jl to gate PETSc-dependent DMPlex tests on Sys.isapple() (all macOS), not only x86_64.
    • Kept pure-Julia vtk_merge_tensor! tests outside the guard so they still run on macOS.
  • What changed

    • Renamed platform guard variable from Intel-specific to macOS-wide.
    • Updated skip message/comments to reflect current behavior (known PETSc_jll segfault on macOS DMPlex/PetscFE path).
# before
isintelmac = Sys.isapple() && Sys.ARCH == :x86_64
if isintelmac
    @test_skip "DMPlex+PETSc tests skipped on macOS Intel (known SIGSEGV in PETSc_jll)"
end

# after
ismacos = Sys.isapple()
if ismacos
    @test_skip "DMPlex+PETSc tests skipped on macOS (known SIGSEGV in PETSc_jll)"
end
