File latexmkrcedit is indeed in ~/Library/TeXShop/bin/latexmkrcedit (although dated 2022, it's identical to the 2025 file ~/Library/TeXShop/bin/tslatexmk/latexmkDONTrcedi, and it already contains what you said to add to my platexmkrc, namely:

add_cus_dep('nlo', 'nls', 0, 'makenlo2nls');
		sub makenlo2nls {
				system("makeindex -s nomencl.ist -o '$_[0]'.nls '$_[0]'.nlo");
		}

So now I'm really puzzled, since as soon as I added that to my platexmkrc, the nomenclature compiled. Before I added it, I saw the error that all the entries for the nomenclature had been "rejected"!
