is passed through and editorOpensFiles is applied only when resolving file
targets; preserve folder-only favorites for directory targets. Ensure terminal

…orts more of them On macOS, Open in decided an editor was installed when its CLI was on PATH. The Cursor Agent CLI's `cursor` shim made Cursor look installed without the IDE, and apps without a CLI, like Warp, could not be offered at all. On macOS the server now asks LaunchServices which apps are registered, by bundle id, in one `osascript` call. An app counts as installed when it is registered or when its CLI resolves into an app bundle; a CLI outside any app does not count. Each app opens through its own bundled CLI when it has one, otherwise through `open -b`. Linux and Windows keep PATH discovery, and so does macOS when `osascript` cannot run. This adds Xcode, Sublime Text, Devin Desktop, Android Studio, Nova and BBEdit, plus terminals (Terminal, iTerm2, Ghostty, kitty, WezTerm, Warp) and git clients (GitHub Desktop, Fork, Sourcetree). Terminals run a script handed to them, so these folder-only apps receive a file's folder, and file actions do not offer them. WezTerm ignores folders handed over by LaunchServices, so it starts through `wezterm start --cwd`. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Markdown file links pass a list already narrowed to file editors, so a saved favorite like Warp looked uninstalled and was replaced by the first file editor. A stored folder-only favorite now stays, whatever list the caller passes. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… their folder Warp has its own editor and opens source and text files there, so treating it as folder-only hid it from file links and file menus. It runs a file with the executable bit, though, so an executable target still opens its folder. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Problem
On macOS, Open in treats an editor as installed when its CLI is on PATH. The Cursor Agent CLI installs a
~/.local/bin/cursorshim that forwards to the IDE and fails without it ("No Cursor IDE installation found"), so Open in offers Cursor on Macs that do not have it. Apps with no CLI on PATH, such as Warp, or Xcode installed by Xcodes asXcode-27.1.0.app, cannot be offered at all, and several requested apps are missing (#286, #19763, #19527, #7055).Change
osascriptcall (about 200 ms for every app below, inside the existing 60 s discovery cache). Bundle ids, not URL schemes, because schemes resolve loosely: on my Macidea://opens Android Studio,xcode://opens a helper inside an old Xcode, and Fork registersx-github-client://andsourcetree://. An editor counts as installed when one of its apps is registered, or when a CLI on PATH resolves into an.appbundle that LaunchServices missed. A CLI outside any app does not count. Ifosascriptcannot run, macOS falls back to today's PATH discovery. Linux and Windows are unchanged.open -b <bundle id>. Remote open on desktop uses the same check on the viewing Mac.Info.plist: Xcode (xed --line, followsxcode-select), Sublime Text (subl path:line:col), Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf, same bundle id), Android Studio (studio --line --column), Nova, BBEdit; terminals Terminal, iTerm2, Ghostty, kitty, WezTerm, Warp; git clients GitHub Desktop, Fork, Sourcetree. WezTerm ignores folders handed over by LaunchServices and opens in the home folder, so it starts throughwezterm start --cwd.--columnfrom 0, so until it lands Android Studio, like the other JetBrains IDEs, opensfile:12:4one column to the right.Scope and approval
This needs maintainer direction: it changes how Open in detects editors and adds launch targets. Related: #7055, which tracks a configurable Open menu with discovery of installed apps; #19763 (Devin Desktop); #19527 (external terminals); #286. The single-app PRs #16066, #17925, #9220 and #11802 were closed pending approval. This puts them behind one detection change so the direction can be judged once.
If you would rather review it in pieces, I will split it into (1) LaunchServices detection with the shim fix, (2) new editors, and (3) terminals and git clients with the folder-only rule. A minimal fix for the Cursor shim alone is also ready if detection should stay PATH-based.
Verification
Tests.
vp test run src/process/externalLauncher.test.tsinapps/server: 25 passed, after rebasing ontomainwith #22557's test cleanup. New cases: only registered apps are offered (a PATHcursorshim does not count); PATH fallback when LaunchServices fails; a CLI linked into an app that LaunchServices missed is accepted; the bundled CLI wins over a PATH shim; Terminal and WezTerm get the folder of a script, and Warp the folder of an executable but the file otherwise; Xcodexed --line; Sublime, Devin Desktop and Android Studio position syntax; Nova and BBEdit throughopen -b; JetBrains EAP bundle ids; Kiro'sidesubcommand only for the PATH CLI. Two existing tests (keeps the macOS VS Code Insiders bundle out of stable VS Code,does not report the agy CLI as the Antigravity IDE on darwin) fail on a Mac that has VS Code or Antigravity IDE in/Applications, because they scan the real folder; they fail the same way onmain.editorPreferencesandfileContextMenuinapps/web: 8 passed, including a terminal favorite that is neither used nor replaced for files, and a Warp favorite that is used for files.window.test.tsinapps/desktop: 5 passed.
