`native/macos-arm64/libEGL.dylib` / `libGLESv2.dylib`	ANGLE GLES 3.0 over Metal, built from commit `58f8882` (`target_os=mac`, `angle_enable_metal`)
`native/macos-arm64/libAura3dAngleMacOSHelper.dylib`	tiny C shim that creates 'BGRA' IOSurfaces (row stride 64-byte aligned) — `IOSurfaceCreate` P/Invoked directly from a .NET process crashes in objc class realization on macOS 26
`build/` + `buildTransitive/Aura3D.Angle.MacOS.targets`	copies the three dylibs into the consumer's output directory; `MacAngleNative` loads them from `AppContext.BaseDirectory`

Why

macOS 26's OpenGL (the GL-on-Metal translation layer, driver string 4.1 Metal - 90.5) does not implement point primitives at all: ALIASED_POINT_SIZE_RANGE reports [0, 0] and any point draw is culled, in both core and legacy profiles. Point clouds therefore render as invisible dust under the native driver. Aura3D's macOS desktop hosts keep the Avalonia OpenGL compositor but render 3D viewports through this self-hosted ANGLE(Metal) context (see Aura3DViewBase.MacAngle.cs / MacAngleBackend in Aura3D.Avalonia).

Rebuilding the slice

src/Aura3D.Angle.MacOS/build-angle-macos.sh

Requires Xcode + depot_tools in PATH (gn/ninja/gclient); on Xcode 26 also xcodebuild -downloadComponent MetalToolchain. The script reuses the ~/angle_ios checkout by default (same ANGLE revision as the iOS slice) and rebuilds the C shim from this repository.
