- Bump version to 0.0.17
- .xlings.json: mcpp 0.0.16 (macOS-capable bootstrap)
- flags.cppm: explicitly link libc++ on macOS for Clang toolchain
- ci-macos.yml: use `xlings install mcpp` + `mcpp build` (self-host)
- release.yml: macOS job uses xlings mcpp to self-host build

Root cause: passing --sysroot to macOS linker forces it to use SDK
.tbd stubs which lack libc++abi exports. Fix: only pass sysroot to
compiler (for headers), let clang++ driver handle linking natively.

CI now validates 3 steps:
1. xmake builds mcpp (bootstrap)
2. That mcpp builds itself (self-host)
3. The self-hosted mcpp builds itself again (stability proof)

ninja cwd differs from shell cwd — relative paths break.

Subject: [PATCH 05/17] fix: macOS link needs both no-sysroot AND explicit
 -lc++
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Two issues combine:
1. --sysroot → SDK tbd stubs miss libc++abi (fixed: don't pass to ld)
2. clang++.cfg -nostdinc++ → suppresses implicit -lc++ (fixed: add explicitly)

Both are needed for correct macOS linking.

Subject: [PATCH 06/17] fix: macOS link uses system libc++ (not xlings LLVM's)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

xlings LLVM's libc++.dylib doesn't pull in libc++abi, causing
undefined exception/RTTI symbols. Solution: don't pass -L<llvm>/lib
to the linker on macOS — let clang++ link against system libc++
(/usr/lib/libc++.dylib) which correctly includes libc++abi.

Compile still uses LLVM 20 headers (ABI-compatible with system libc++).

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The Linux CI uses its own xim:mcpp bootstrap path — changing this
to 0.0.16 broke the cache key and caused sandbox incompatibility.
macOS CI uses xmake bootstrap, not .xlings.json.

Subject: [PATCH 10/17] refactor: macOS CI/release uses xlings mcpp (same
 pattern as Linux)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Replace xmake bootstrap with `xlings install mcpp` → `mcpp build`,
matching the Linux CI pattern exactly:
- ci-macos: xlings install mcpp → mcpp build → self-host smoke
- release: xlings install mcpp → mcpp build → package

No xmake dependency. mcpp auto-installs LLVM toolchain via xlings.

Subject: [PATCH 14/17] fix: use freshly-built mcpp for test step (bootstrap
 lacks --mirror)

The bootstrap mcpp (from xlings cache) may not support `self config
--mirror`. Use the freshly-built binary for test + mirror config.

macOS CI now runs the same validation as Linux:
- mcpp build (self-host)
- mcpp test (unit + integration)
- E2E suite (run_all.sh)
- Self-host smoke

Toolchain default set to llvm@20.1.7 for macOS E2E tests.

Subject: [PATCH 16/17] fix: use _NSGetExecutablePath on macOS (no
 /proc/self/exe)

macOS doesn't have /proc/self/exe. Use _NSGetExecutablePath from
mach-o/dyld.h to resolve the binary's absolute path. This fixes:
- build.ninja mcpp= variable (needed for dyndep)
- MCPP_HOME auto-detection from binary location

- run_all.sh: skip tests that assume GCC/ELF/patchelf on macOS
- sed -i → sed -i.bak for macOS compat (05, 09, 22)
- target/x86_64-linux-*/ → target/*/ for platform-portable path (24, 25)

  22 (GCC fingerprint), 26/27/29 (GCC toolchain), 30 (patchelf), 33 (GCC mangling)
