Setting up the macOS window layer when porting a Windows game to Metal. Covers AppDelegate + NSWindow programmatic setup, a CAMetalLayer-backed GameView with CAMetalDisplayLink, GameViewController lifecycle, AppKit notifications routed into the engine via `Engine*` callbacks, keyboard/mouse input replacing WndProc, fullscreen transitions, cursor visibility and mouse-look confinement, sleep prevention, and per-frame screen state for sizes and EDR.
