Both verify-macos (macos-13) and sea (macos-13) have been stuck queued for well over an hour with zero progress across the last two releases. GitHub fully retired the macos-13 runner image on 2025-12-08 (github.blog/changelog/2025-09-19-github-actions-macos-13-runner-image-is-closing-down) — a job targeting it never gets assigned a runner and just queues forever instead of failing loudly. Confirmed against GitHub's own actions/runner-images README, which no longer lists macos-13 at all. Replaced with macos-latest-large, GitHub's current arm64/x64 counterpart to macos-latest.

GitHub fully retired the macos-13 runner image on 2025-12-08. A job
targeting it never gets assigned a runner and queues forever rather
than failing loudly, which is exactly what both verify-macos
(macos-13) and sea (macos-13) did across two separate releases — each
stuck queued for well over an hour with zero progress, confirmed
against GitHub's own actions/runner-images README, which no longer
lists macos-13 as an available image at all.

macos-latest-large is GitHub's current arm64/x64 counterpart to
macos-latest, tracking whichever OS version that means over time
rather than pinning to a specific one that will itself eventually be
retired the same way.

macos-latest-large failed a job in 4 seconds with zero recorded
steps, the signature of a runner request GitHub's scheduler could
never satisfy at all. actions/runner-images' own README lists both
labels as aliases for the identical x64 macOS 26 image, but -large
evidently routes through the (not enabled on this account) Larger
Runners feature rather than acting as a plain alias in practice.
macos-26-intel names the same image without going through that path.
