Adds
desktop_launchfor an explicit absolute.apppath or exact bundle ID. Launch requests foreground activation and readiness through Peekaboo's existing global mutation lane, verifies the signed selector/process receipt, and returns fresh inventory. Native confirmation survives a later inventory failure; uncertain launches warn that the app may still open and are never replayed.Real validation found that an unregistered bundle ID was incorrectly reported as an indeterminate mutation. A narrow native patch now classifies synchronous selector-preparation failures as refused before dispatch, using the existing signed targetless refusal contract. Opening, activation, readiness, and errors after dispatch retain their existing behavior.
Path selection chooses that app copy; bundle-ID selection follows LaunchServices registration. No app names, PIDs, documents/URLs, relaunch, extra-instance, or background-launch options are exposed. Related: #8, #73.
Validation:
5dc9371; independent product and finite-helper reviews pass.refused,target_unavailable, and no dispatch. The original incorrect unknown is preserved as before/after evidence.Built in Ace
Codex's direct file, terminal, build, and review tools were used under Nate's explicit exception to Ace-only development for #8 so the computer-use work could proceed faster. Validation used Ace's actual source host, signed desktop bridge, real model, and disposable fixture. The relevant native tool and dogfooding gaps are tracked in #8 and #5.
