Hi Michael,

The Arm64 macOS version need only to be tested on M* based computer. Do not try
to build an universal version, this will bloat the bundles for nothing as a
x86_64 version already exists. It's better to provide only for one architecture
by bundle to prevent side effects. Also the Intel version work fine with
Rosetta2 emulator on Arm, so this is a safe alternative.

Else, as developer, i mostly work 70% of time under Linux and i test under
Windows 10 VM with Qt5 and Qt6 version. Note that the days are numbers about
the Qt5 version.

Under Linux i use Kubuntu 22.04 and 24.04. The last one is the host computer,
the first one a VM for regression tests.

Linux AppImage are compiled under xubuntu 20.04 for Qt5 and xubuntu 22.04 for
Qt6. Both run in dedicated VMs.

The Macos Intel is compiled with Macports under my MacBook Pro 2015. Another
Macbook Pro 2021 M1 is my lead computer to code and test everywhere. I use a
UTM VM arm64 running Ubuntu 24.04 migrated to Kubuntu 24.04. It work perfectly
(Arm CPU rock really so far compared to Intel).

When you talk about "tests", you want mean the unit-tests suite from
core/tests/*. It must be, but i don't check this point at run time since a
while.

About the MR, please use atomic patch by feature, not too huge, but also not
too small (human compatible workflow (:-))). Note that in all cases the MR will
be sync with master code before to be merged, as all the days, the i18n are
pushed and updated in master repo. So if a review take age, a sync is
mandatory.

Gilles
