5.1.2 shipped a grey mining tab on macOS while Linux was fine. The app said why: 'qrc:/qml/mining.qml:2:1: module "QtQuick.Layouts" is not installed', and Contents/Resources held only appicon.icns and qt.conf, with no qml directory at all. macdeployqt cannot scan .qrc resources, and it was called without -qmldir, so the bundle shipped no QML modules; scene.qml survived only because it imports nothing beyond QtQuick. Pass -qmldir, then blanket-copy the QtQuick and QtQml trees as the AppImage build already does, because qmlimportscanner does not follow a module's own qmldir depends chain. Both happen before the dylib passes so new plugin deps resolve, and before signing, which already sweeps every non-framework Mach-O. A guard fails the build when a module is missing, because an absent QML module is invisible until someone opens the tab.
