Subject: [PATCH] CI: the workspace's tests on macOS each night (and on demand)
 (#6921)

Pull requests and main run Linux and Windows only; release.yml builds and signs the macOS app
without running the tests, so macOS-only failures went unseen. On 10 Nov 2026 a hand-started run
found three (two print tests and a bates test, fixed in #6905 and #6913) plus one more
(min_window, fixed separately). One macos-latest leg a night, through the shared gate.
