🔴 macos-15-large is ARM64, not Intel x64 - binary verification will fail
The PR changes the runner from macos-13 to macos-15-large with the comment "Intel runner (macos-13 is retired)", but this is incorrect. According to GitHub's documentation, macos-15-large is an Apple Silicon (ARM64) runner, not an Intel x64 runner.

Impact
The verification job at .github/workflows/publish.yml:423-425 and .github/workflows/verify-publish.yml:317-318 will attempt to run an x64 binary (relay-pty-darwin-x64) on an ARM64 runner. This will either:
- Fail immediately with an architecture mismatch error
- Potentially work via Rosetta 2 translation (if available), but this defeats the purpose of verifying the x64 binary works natively on Intel hardware
Actual vs Expected
- Actual: x64 binary runs on ARM64 runner (fails or runs via emulation)
- Expected: x64 binary runs on native Intel x64 hardware to verify it works correctly
Recommendation
Since GitHub has retired all Intel macOS runners, consider:
- Removing the x64 verification step entirely (the build uses cross-compilation which is reliable)
- Using a self-hosted Intel Mac runner if native verification is critical
- Documenting that x64 binaries are cross-compiled but not natively verified
Recommendation: Since GitHub has retired all Intel macOS runners, either remove the x64 verification job, use a self-hosted Intel runner, or document that x64 binaries are cross-compiled but not natively verified on Intel hardware.

Summary
Updates deprecated macos-13 runners to macos-15-large for Intel x64 binary verification.
Problem
The publish workflow was being cancelled because macos-13 runners are retired:
