* fix(native): select one slice when universal Mach-O slices share a CPU type On macOS 27 most system binaries are universal files whose slices share CPU_TYPE_ARM64: arm64e + arm64e.x1 (Calculator, TextEdit), x86_64 + arm64e + arm64e.x1 (/bin/ls), or arm64 + arm64e.x1 (ShortcutDroplet). Target admission names slices by CPU family, so these targets have availableArchitectures ["arm64"] while the file holds two arm64 slices. inspect_macho read that family count as a slice count and ran otool, nm, dyld_info, dwarfdump and vtool without -arch. ShortcutDroplet failed with "Malformed otool load-command output" (40 load commands against ncmds 20). Calculator reported both slices' imports (4138 instead of 2069), nm's "(for architecture ...)" header lines as exports, and no selected slice. selectArchitecture now also filters when lipo lists more than one slice. Its preference is unchanged: the family name, then arm64e, then the first arm64e.<variant>. inspect_native_dispatch_metadata matched FAT slices by CPU type only and refused /bin/ls and TextEdit as "Ambiguous FAT architecture slice". selectMachoSlice now ranks slices of the requested CPU type by base subtype in the same order: arm64 (0, then 1) or x86_64 (3), then arm64e (2), then other variants such as arm64e.x1 in FAT table order. It reports ambiguity only when the top-ranked slices share a subtype.

Universal Mach-O captures whose slices share one CPU type
Captured on macOS 27.0.1 (26A434), arm64, from two system executables whose
FAT slices all use CPU_TYPE_ARM64:
lipo -detailed_info /System/Applications/Calculator.app/Contents/MacOS/Calculator > calculator.txt
lipo -detailed_info /System/Library/CoreServices/ShortcutDroplet.app/Contents/MacOS/ShortcutDroplet > shortcut-droplet.txt
Calculator holds arm64e (subtype 0x80000002) and arm64e.x1 (subtype
0x8000000c); ShortcutDroplet holds arm64 (subtype 0) and arm64e.x1.
Target admission names both files by the single CPU family arm64, while lipo
lists two slices.
The executable path on the Fat header in: line was replaced with fixture,
and trailing whitespace (lipo prints capabilities for a slice without
capabilities) and the final blank line were removed. Tool fields are otherwise
unchanged.
