Verify the native helper's sealed identifier and pinned Apple signing team in BridgeLauncher, then carry that provenance to HopperClient. Only a verified native helper's complete not-found exit confirms no document handoff, allowing runtime and target-lease cleanup and retry; wrappers retain unknown document state.
Share publisher identity with setup through the domain contract. Correct fixture teardown ordering and parameterized MCP coverage. Validation: 54 focused tests passed across boundary, CLI, MCP acceptance, diagnostics and installer coverage (one Linux-only case skipped); check:fast passed. Real codesign verification accepted the installed official Hopper helper; Spotlight failures and bridge recovery used process fixtures.
The macOS installer accepted any bundle that passed `codesign --verify`
and whose `Info.plist` said `com.cryptic-apps.hopper-web-4`. An ad-hoc
signed bundle with that identifier satisfies both, so a substituted DMG
could be copied to ~/Applications and launched.
Verify a pinned code requirement instead, covering the sealed bundle
identifier and the signing team together, and report a distinct
`publisher_verification_failed` code so a vendor key change is not
confused with a corrupt package.
