Subject: [PATCH] ci: build with the default Xcode's toolchain, not the newer
 Command Line Tools

The macos-26-arm64 image 20261013 adds Command Line Tools 27, and links resolved system libraries in its macOS 27 SDK, which the linker rejects (tapi error: unknown architecture arm64e.x1-macos; run 38702428043). DEVELOPER_DIR points the xcrun shims that GHC and prepare-libs.sh call at /Applications/Xcode.app. The Show runner steps print the SDK in use. This run tests the backend build on the new image; core comes from run 38702428043's artifact.
