What changed, and why it matters
This commit is a routine update to the project's Mac CI (Continuous Integration) workflow. It installs the GNU version of make (called gmake) via Homebrew and uses gmake instead of the older Apple-provided make when building the project in CI. There is no security relevance in this change.
No security action needed. This is a CI maintenance change.

Evidence from the diff
The diff modifies .github/workflows/macos.yaml. It adds ‘make’ to the Homebrew install list (which installs GNU make as ‘gmake’ via Homebrew) and changes the build command from ‘uv run make’ to ‘uv run gmake’. This avoids Apple’s outdated bundled make and ensures the CI build uses an up-to-date GNU make. No source code, dependencies, or runtime behavior is changed.
