Description
Currently bug reporter gives no indication if the Intel or ARM executable was running unless a crash occurs where it is identified in the crash dump, for example, in ticket #7392
"cpuType" : "ARM-64"
For non-crash reports with current daily builds there is a tricky way to see if it is Intel or ARM. The ARM Mac build uses imagecodecs version 2022.2.22 while the Intel Mac build is using a newer version (since PyPi imagecodecs does not have an ARM wheel available), an example ARM report seen in ticket #7393.

Not needed.
The "Platform" line at the top of the bug report indicates ARM or Intel and that is the ChimeraX executable type (not the CPU type). And if it says Intel we can see if the CPU is Intel or ARM from the hardware info or from the OpenGL driver included in all Mac bug reports.
Actually the ChimeraX bug report "Platform" shown at the top is "macOS-10.16-x86_64-i386-64bit" on a Mac M1 machine if the Intel ChimeraX is used (e.g. ticket #7376) whereas Platform is "macOS-12.2.1-arm64-arm-64bit" for the ARM ChimeraX (e.g. ticket #7393).
