The macOS CI job builds on the arm64 macos-latest runner with no CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES override and pulls deps via the arm64-osx vcpkg triplet, so the csound7-plugins-*-macos.zip release assets are arm64-only, not universal.

This adds a "Release binaries and macOS architecture" section to the README stating that, and points Intel Mac users at a from-source build.

Related: users on Apple Silicon hit the inverse problem when installing locally-built x86_64 plugins (dlopen fails with -1).
