trace_dylib_resolution blamed the artifact for the caller's root
selection. A missing root, a directory, or a symlink leading outside the
bundle got "Artifact contains an unsafe or conflicting internal path ...
correct the artifact". A non-Mach-O file such as Contents/Info.plist got
"Artifact is invalid or has changed. Get a fresh copy". Any schema
failure, including a bad architecture, was reported as "roots must be
normalized paths".
Report a caller-selected root that cannot be traced as an
invalid_request issue on roots[i] with the failed constraint, and
project schema failures through their real issues. The normalized-path
rule now carries a readable message. Roots REA derives itself (bundle
executables or the active target) keep reporting artifact failures.
This matches what #1070 did for inspect_keyed_archive.

Follow #952's Apple ownership: the Mach-O load-command reader, dylib
resolution adapter and fixture move to src/artifacts/apple/, the resolver,
dyld path semantics and findings to src/domain/apple/, and the dylib lane
helper to scripts/verify/apple/.

- Edges below a conditional fallback now carry loader_conditional, reuse of
a conditional image by install name is conditional, and their findings say
they apply only if that image loads.
- Hash each traced image only if it is still the file whose headers were
parsed (device, inode, size and change times), before and after hashing.
- Resolve explicit roots segment by segment, so a root below a symlinked
directory that points outside the analyzed root is rejected.
- Require a complete 16-byte LC_CODE_SIGNATURE command.

Address review findings in trace_dylib_resolution:
- Resolve LC_LAZY_LOAD_DYLIB dependencies without traversing them, since
dyld loads them on first use. An unresolved one becomes
`lazy-load-unresolved`, not a launch failure.
- Accept FAT tables up to 128 records, as target opening does. A table
that names no Mach-O CPU type, such as a Java class file, is not
Mach-O.
- Require 8-byte load-command alignment in 64-bit images. 1,508 real
slices still match otool.
- Report EACCES/EPERM while probing, reading, or hashing as an
`unavailable` failure naming the code and path, rather than generic
io.
Findings and limitations move to dylibResolutionFindings.ts to keep the
resolver under the module size limit.

Address review findings in trace_dylib_resolution:
- Choose child slices by dyld's graded architectures, so an x86_64h
process loads a generic x86_64 slice instead of reporting
architecture-missing.
- Read FAT containers with the byte-swapped FAT_CIGAM and FAT_CIGAM_64
magics, which target opening already accepts.
- Report string-bearing load commands too short to hold their string
offset as malformed instead of failing with a RangeError.
- Keep recognized but unsupported images as an `unsupported` candidate
outcome. It is undeterminable like an outside-root path, not
malformed.
- List Mach-O files that do not parse during root enumeration as
unparsed images, so coverage is partial rather than silently complete.

Add trace_dylib_resolution (CLI trace-dylib-resolution) to the artifact
family. For the active Mach-O, or every executable in the active .app
(the main app, XPC services, extensions, login items, helpers), it
reports which file each dylib load reaches and how.
A pure TypeScript reader decodes FAT and Mach-O load commands:
LC_LOAD/WEAK/REEXPORT/LAZY/UPWARD_DYLIB, including the newer
dylib_use_command encoding with weak, re-export, upward and delayed-init
flags, plus LC_ID_DYLIB, LC_RPATH, LC_DYLD_ENVIRONMENT and code-signature
presence. Malformed tables are reported with the failing command instead
of being guessed.
Resolution follows dyld:
- @executable_path comes from each process root;
- @loader_path comes from the loading image, or from the owner of the
LC_RPATH entry being expanded;
- @rpath searches the loader's rpaths first, then up the load chain;
- dependencies load dependents-first in load-command order, once per
process, and a matching install name reuses an already loaded image;
- symlinks are followed inside the analyzed root, and escapes stop.
Every candidate path is reported with its outcome. Each edge resolves to
resolved, conditional (an outside-root candidate such as /usr/lib/swift
precedes), unresolved, or undetermined. Absolute and shared-cache system
paths are never checked against the host. Derived findings cover
unresolved required or weak loads, absent earlier @rpath candidates (with
library validation left unknown), and LC_DYLD_ENVIRONMENT.
verify:macos-bundle now also:
- checks every traced image against otool -l;
- asserts each resolution status on a clang-built fixture that adds a
missing Overrides rpath, an absolute rpath, and a delay-init library;
- compares the predicted load order of two process roots with what dyld
loads under DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES.
