What happened here?
 
We had the same happen to our patio door and at 1st thought a stone from the landscaper or something similar. Eliminated that in a couple of seconds because it was in the screened in Lanai. After a closer look, I discovered it was the inside glass panel of the slider.
Never found out the cause but NICKEL SULFIDE INCLUSION sounds like a strong possibility.

Chances are it was a lawn cutter with the edger. If you got rocks hanging out, you need to put them away

Glass
 
I’ve had bird strikes break windows. Sometimes the bird dies, other times it survives.

Is this a custom windows product?

I couldn't find any evidence that something hit it. Could a close lightning struck have caused it? Manufacturing defect? This panel was replaced under warranty a year or so back due to a broken seal, so I wonder.
I had that happen a few years ago to my large picture window.
I was sitting near mine when it happened and I thought someone had shot it. It was a very loud bang. Scared me to death. After all alternatives were investigated, it turns out it was stress on the window that caused it.
Hope this helps.
