fix: relaunch via open instead of app.relaunch() so TCC grants are seen - #11
Merged
Conversation
Verified directly this session: a process spawned via app.relaunch() kept reporting Screen Recording/Accessibility as denied even immediately after the exact same permission was freshly granted in System Settings, while a process for the identical signed binary launched via the 'open' CLI (same mechanism Finder/Dock use) correctly saw the fresh grant every time. app.relaunch() re-execs the new process from the current one rather than handing off through launchd, and on this system TCC's authorization check for the new process was still resolving against the old process's already- denied context. Shelling out to `open <bundle path>` gives the relaunched process the same independent launch lineage a real Finder/Dock open has, which is what the Quit & Reopen button actually needs to work.
