Summary

  • On macOS 26 (Tahoe), the QuickLook compositor no longer properly composites SCNView content when backgroundColor is set to .clear, causing the 3D preview to render as a blank/gray box
  • Changed the background color from .clear to .systemTeal and re-apply rendering settings in preparePreviewOfFile to ensure reliable rendering across QuickLook extension lifecycle events

Test plan

  • Verified on macOS 26.2 (Build 25C56) on Apple Silicon
  • Press Space on a .step file in Finder → 3D model renders with teal background and interactive camera controls
  • Verify no regression on macOS 14/15 (Sonoma/Sequoia)

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

On macOS 26, the QuickLook compositor no longer properly composites
SCNView content when backgroundColor is set to .clear. This caused
the 3D preview to be completely invisible (gray/blank box).

Changed the background color from .clear to .systemTeal and also
re-apply rendering settings in preparePreviewOfFile to ensure the
scene renders reliably across QuickLook extension lifecycle events.
