System Info
Device: MacBook Pro (M3 Chip)
OS: macOS Sequoia 15.8.2
Game version: Latest Steam Release (Native 64-bit, No Mods, No SMAPI)
After updating my Macbook to macOS Sequoia 15.8.2, launching Stardew Valley through Steam results in a completely black screen, regardless of window mode or fullscreen. The window opens, but no visuals are rendered. Audio plays normally on the title screen, and when I click around the black window, it does produces audio feedback (like the little audio sounds from clicking where the title would be)

Troubleshooting Steps Already Attempted:
- Uninstalled and reinstalled the game via Steam.
- Tested other versions of the game (Except for XNA as that is not compatible with Silicone)
- Verified integrity of game files in Steam.
- Attempted full screen, windowed, and forcing specific resolutions (such as -w 1280 -h 720 launch options).
- Deleted startup_preferences and edited <windowMode> directly in ~/.config/StardewValley.
- Checked Full Disk Access permissions for Steam in macOS Privacy & Security.
- Re-signed app bundle permissions via Terminal (codesign).
- Tested running with disconnected external displays.
- Attempted forcing alternative rendering contexts (such as FNA_RENDERER=OpenGL), which just resulted in execution/launch errors.
