Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius. 📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughDuplicate-launch checks now compare a launched app’s executable URL with the executable URL of its registered bundle. The checks reject missing URLs and compare standardized, symlink-resolved URLs. Tests cover matching and non-matching executable paths. ChangesDuplicate launch detection

main's single-instance policy (#14831) now yields to a cmux running from another bundle path. Comparing against this process's executable would skip that instance and leave two apps sharing one session file, so both startup enforcement and the launch observer compare the running app with its own bundle's main executable. Helpers such as Expo's osascript still fail the check. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Use cmux’s identity when filtering duplicate launches.
bundleExecutableURL(of:) reads the executable declared by the candidate’s own bundle. Therefore, the predicate is true for any bundle-backed application whose running executable matches its own declaration.
The launch observer is installed during normal startup. An unrelated application with cmux’s bundle identifier can pass the predicate, fail the same-bundle path check, and then receive terminate() followed by forceTerminate().
Use one path-independent identity check for both callers. Compare the candidate against cmux’s code-signing identity, such as Bundle.main’s designated code-signing requirement. Do not use the candidate’s own bundle metadata as the reference. This preserves support for cmux installed at another path without terminating an unrelated application.

Summary
Closes #13839 (issue).
LaunchServices can register an unrelated helper under cmux's bundle identifier. Both startup enforcement and launch observation now require its resolved executable path to match the cmux application before terminating it. This replaces the embedded-CLI exception with one production predicate that also excludes Expo's helper and missing executable URLs.
