ci: [refactor] Use --preset=dev-mode in mac_native task
Also shorten the name, because it is usually truncated anyway in the web
view.
USDT remains disabled explicitly.
What changed, and why it matters
This is a routine cleanup of Bitcoin Core's continuous integration (CI) configuration for macOS. It replaces a long list of build options with a pre-defined 'dev-mode' preset and shortens the job name shown in GitHub's web interface. There is no change to the actual Bitcoin software that users run, and no security relevance.
No security action needed. Treat as a normal CI maintenance change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The commit refactors the macOS native CI task to use the CMake preset --preset=dev-mode instead of spelling out individual CMake options (-DBUILD_GUI=ON, -DWITH_ZMQ=ON, -DBUILD_KERNEL_LIB=ON, etc.). It explicitly keeps -DWITH_USDT=OFF, -DREDUCE_EXPORTS=ON, and the stack-size linker flag. The GitHub Actions job label is shortened from ‘macOS native, no depends, sqlite only, gui’ to ‘macOS native’. This affects only CI metadata and build scripts; no source code, consensus logic, networking, or cryptography is modified.
