The full story
The fixes address macOS process and graphics initialisation as well as a camera-buffer layout mismatch in the simulator bridge. The contributor distinguishes the macOS-specific work from the buffer correction that affects other platforms.
Related submissions report local Apple Silicon simulator tests and explain fixes to inherited process state. These results concern a simulator and development tooling rather than validation of a driving system.
