ZacharyZhang-NYandClaude Opus 5.5 5bf2056281 All apps: a second launch hands its files to the running copy
R4.12 (user report). The copy holding the instance lock opens a local
door guarded by a random token in its data folder; a second copy sends
its file paths there, lets it take the foreground, and exits 0 instead
of showing "already running". Files join the ely_ui::on_open queue every
app already uses; the main window comes to the front. Also records the
R4.10 round 1 verdict.

Build (macOS)

scripts/doctor.sh                 # toolchain versions
scripts/fetch-references.sh       # upstream sources at pinned commits
scripts/build-libreoffice.sh      # patched LibreOffice 26.2.6.3 (about an hour)
scripts/build-mupdf.sh            # patched MuPDF 1.28.5

Packages: packaging/macos/release.sh writes each app's .app and .dmg, the source archive and the upstream source archive (patched MuPDF, Git) to dist/. Linux and Windows recipes are in packaging/linux and packaging/windows; they have not been run on those systems.

Tests

cargo test --workspace, the window scripts in tests/scripts (macOS, Accessibility permission), and the benchmark tests/perf/bench.py.
