Description

Getting this on Macbook Pro M5 (24GB, 1TB)

> rcli metalrt install

  MetalRT requires Apple M3 or later.
  Your Mac uses an M1/M2 chip which doesn't support Metal 3.1 shaders.
  Please use llama.cpp instead: rcli engine llamacpp

Start by reproducing the reported output with rcli metalrt install on the affected Mac, then trace the platform and chip-detection path that produces the M1/M2 message. Done means Apple M5 hardware is recognized correctly and the command no longer reports it as unsupported.
