## Title

    Proposed fix: [Python native extensions on Apple Silicon] 'ImportError/OSError: dlopen(...): (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'x86_64', need 'arm64'))' — interpreter/venv and co

## Body

    Recommended action: Check `python -c 'import platform; print(platform.machine())'` and `file <lib>.so`; use one architecture consistently (native arm64 Python/Homebrew in /opt/homebrew, arm64 conda/Miniforge), recreate the venv, and reinstall with --no-cache-dir --force-reinstall; for source builds set the target arch (e.g. CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=arm64). Use `arch -x86_64` / python3.x-intel64 only when you intentionally want x86_64.
    
    Option: Make interpreter, venv and wheels the same arch [evidence: official_recommended_action]
    Applies when: See record scope.
    Steps:
    1. python3 -c 'import platform;print(platform.machine())'
    2. file $(python3 -c 'import numpy,os;print(os.path.dirname(numpy.__file__))')/_core/*.so | head -3
    3. rm -rf .venv && python3 -m venv .venv && pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
    Expected: Command proceeds without the error.
