What changed, and why it matters
This commit adds a new GitHub Actions CI job that cross-compiles the Bitcoin Core graphical user interface for macOS without running tests. It is purely a build-pipeline configuration change and does not modify any production code, network behavior, or wallet logic.
No security action required. Treat as routine CI maintenance.
