What I meant to say is that by macOS conventions, a console program
looks for shared libraries in different places.  But that's a guess; I
don't really know how this works on macOS.

All I can suggest is step in a debugger through the code in
treesit_load_language, and see why the TTY version fails to find the
grammar libraries.  I don't have this problem on MS-Windows, FWIW.  So
it is something macOS-specific, and we need a macOS expert to
investigate.
