The .app bundle's Frameworks/ staging rule was only globbing ifcopenshell.*.dylib (the dlopen-only plug-ins) on the assumption that macdeployqt would follow BonsaiViewer's link-time @rpath deps for the lib-prefixed core shared libs. In practice it doesn't — non-Qt @rpath deps whose source path is outside the standard system / Qt prefixes get skipped silently. In a static build this didn't matter: libifcopenshell.geometry, libIfcParse, libIfcViewer, etc. were statically embedded in BonsaiViewer.exe, so there was no runtime dep. With --shared (added inddee88bedfor the bundle-size win) they're separate dylibs that must physically live in Frameworks/, or the binary won't even start: dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libifcopenshell.geometry.dylib Reason: tried '…/BonsaiViewer.app/Contents/Frameworks/ libifcopenshell.geometry.dylib' (no such file) Broaden the install(CODE) glob to *.dylib so both flavours land: * lib-prefixed linked core libs (libifcopenshell.geometry.dylib, libIfcParse.dylib, libIfcViewer.dylib, lib<mapping/kernel>.dylib) * non-prefixed plug-ins (ifcopenshell.parse.schema.ifcXxX.dylib, ifcopenshell.geometry.mapping.ifcXxX.dylib, etc.) <prefix>/lib/ is IfcOpenShell-exclusive (Qt / boost / eigen live in their own brew / build prefixes), so the broad glob doesn't risk sweeping in unrelated dylibs. The geometry-writer EXCLUDE regex is preserved so the size win from the writer-skip side ofddee88bedstays in place. In a static build the lib/ directory simply has no *.dylib files that match, so the rule no-ops cleanly — same code path is safe for both --shared and the (unused but possible) default static config. Linux didn't need a counterpart: build_rocky.yml already does the equivalent in workflow bash (`patchelf --set-rpath '$ORIGIN'` + `stage_runtime_payload`), and local Linux dev uses CMake's BUILD_RPATH which auto-resolves to the build subdirectories. macOS .app bundles are treated as opaque by the packaging step (no stage_runtime_payload against Contents/), so the staging has to happen at CMake install time when the bundle is being assembled.

IfcOpenShell
IfcOpenShell is an open source (LGPL) software library for working with Industry Foundation Classes (IFC). Complete parsing support is provided for IFC2x3 TC1, IFC4 Add2 TC1, IFC4x1, IFC4x2, and IFC4x3 Add2. Extensive geometric support is implemented for the IFC releases IFC2x3 TC1 and IFC4 Add2 TC1. Extending with support for arbitrary IFC schemas is possible at compile-time when using C++ and at run-time when using Python.
In addition to a C++ and Python API, IfcOpenShell comes with an ecosystem of tools, notably including IfcConvert (an application to convert IFC models to other formats), Bonsai (an add-on to Blender providing a graphical IFC authoring platform), and many other libraries, CLI apps, and more. Support is also provided for auxiliary standards such as BCF and IDS.
