Pull request overview
Updates the macOS packaging pipeline template to produce both the standard and LTS .pkg installers during LTS releases, aligning macOS packaging behavior with other platforms.
Changes:
- Add an explicit preflight check that
tools/metadata.jsonexists before reading it. - For LTS releases, generate a standard
osxpkgpackage and an additional-LTSosxpkgpackage (instead of producing only one). - Ensure the LTS verbose log line is actually emitted by supplying
-Verbose.

Impact
REQUIRED: Choose either Tooling Impact or Customer Impact (or both). At least one checkbox must be selected.
Tooling Impact
Changes macOS packaging build pipeline to create both standard and LTS packages for LTS releases. This ensures users can distinguish between LTS and non-LTS packages on macOS, matching behavior of other platforms.
Customer Impact
Regression
REQUIRED: Check exactly one box.
This is not a regression.
Testing
Backported from proven commits (27f0419 and ed53cf5) already in release/v7.4 branch. Build pipeline changes will be verified by CI. Original commits created both standard and LTS macOS packages as intended.
Risk
REQUIRED: Check exactly one box.
Changes affect the macOS build pipeline infrastructure, but are well-scoped to LTS package creation only. Changes have been validated in v7.4 release branch. Builds will fail early if there are issues, preventing bad packages.
