Pixi: macOS (Apple Silicon) support #267

Description

Summary

Add macOS (osx-arm64) platform support to the experimental Pixi environment.


Proposed solution

Currently blocked by a build failure in ros2_medkit_serialization (vendored dynmsg):

yaml-cpp/node/impl.h:227:14: error: implicit instantiation of undefined template
  'YAML::convert<std::__bit_const_reference<std::vector<bool>>>'

This is a yaml-cpp / Apple Clang incompatibility with std::vector<bool> reference handling in message_reading_cpp.cpp.

Possible fixes:

  • Patch vendored dynmsg to avoid vector<bool> iteration pattern
  • Use a yaml-cpp version that handles this (if one exists)
  • Add a workaround specific to Apple Clang

Both Jazzy and Humble are affected.
