# ----- macOS: hide bundled python from the Dock -----
# python-build-standalone ships a bare Mach-O at bin/python3.13 with NO
# embedded __TEXT,__info_plist section, but libpython3.13.dylib is linked
# against AppKit / Cocoa / ApplicationServices. On a fresh user Mac (with
# .app quarantine attrs + first-launch XProtect inspection), spawning that
# binary from Electron causes LaunchServices to register it as a generic
# bundleless GUI process and render the macOS "exec" placeholder dock icon
# (bouncing for the entire boot window). Wrapping the binary in a tiny .app
# whose Info.plist sets LSUIElement=1 tells LaunchServices to skip the dock
# entry entirely. Python.org's framework Python uses the same trick.
#
# Invariants this layout depends on (don't break them):
#   - codesign rejects symlinks as CFBundleExecutable ("the main executable
#     or Info.plist must be a regular file (no symlinks, etc.)") — so
#     python3 inside Python.app MUST be a real Mach-O copy, not a symlink.
#     We copy bin/python3.13 in and rewrite its LC_LOAD_DYLIB so it still
#     finds the single libpython3.13.dylib at python-env/lib/.
#   - Python.getpath() calls realpath() on argv[0], so sys.prefix still
#     resolves to python-env/ even though the launcher lives inside the
#     wrapper bundle. All stdlib + site-packages discovery is unchanged.
#   - The launcher binary is tiny (~50 KB), so the duplicate copy is
#     negligible. We deliberately do NOT duplicate libpython3.13.dylib
#     (~18 MB) — only the launcher.
