Description
### Problem description
Fantastic software - Thank you - but it seems not to support Apple Silicon M5 on MacBook Air yet - FreeCad 1.1.1 crashes every time I try to make even simple operation on my MacBook - whereas it is running quite stable on my Windows machine. It's a brand new MacBook Air M5 running macOS Tahoe 26.4.1 and FreeCad 1.1.1 was the first app I installed. It crashes after a few seconds in Part and PartDesign after a few operations - it also crashes in safe mode. I get some strange notifications (**invalid index ....**) - Please see attached screendump
### Workbench affected?
Part
### Steps to reproduce
Not possible to attach zip due to crash
### Expected behavior
running without crashes 😊
### Actual behavior
FreeCad 1.1.1 crashes after a few seconds and very few operations - seen in Part and PartDesign. It also crashes in safe mode and also with the OpenGL option checked. Please see attached screendumps
### Development version About Info (in Safe Mode)
```shell
Not tried yet - but I will
```
### Last known good version (optional)
```shell
```
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash in the Part and PartDesign workbenches on the reported Apple Silicon MacBook Air, comparing normal mode, safe mode, and the OpenGL option. Collect the development-version About Info and crash details, then identify the failing area; done means the affected operations run without crashes on macOS.
