ci: conditionally disable spotlight indexing (#19124)

johnstcn · stirby · commit f54c8fef25ed · 2025-08-04T20:59:03.000Z
Work around for following issue: ``` Run sudo mdutil -a -i off sudo mdutil -a -i off sudo mdutil -X / sudo launchctl bootout system /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist shell: /bin/bash -e {0} 4 files/directories removed Boot-out failed: 5: Input/output error ``` This can happen if spotlight has already been disabled. (cherry picked from commit 6a35400)
