Weak and lazy unresolved-load findings on edges whose loader loads only
conditionally now say that they apply only if that loader loads, as the
required-load finding already did.

Carry #952's Apple ownership into the cache work: the cache reader and
fixture move to src/artifacts/apple/, the cache facts, platforms and
resolution schema to src/domain/apple/, the cache service to
src/application/apple/, and the lane to scripts/verify/apple/.

- A file with a recognized Mach-O or FAT magic but fewer than 8 bytes is a
malformed image, so it stays visible in coverage and root diagnostics.
- Canonicalize the analyzed root and target inside the translated region,
so a permission revoked after open_binary keeps its reason and path.

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/.

Carry conditional-load propagation, parsed-image digest binding, and
segment-wise root resolution into the shared-cache trace. Also:
- Make cache compatibility directional: an arm64e cache serves arm64
processes and an x86_64h cache serves x86_64 ones, not the reverse.
- Require the complete 24-byte LC_BUILD_VERSION with its declared tool
records, and the 16-byte LC_VERSION_MIN_* command, before recording a
platform.

The Electron guide currently uses a teaching fixture. Add a real Notion clipboard case with REA findings, short source excerpts and responsive figures, alongside the existing DX-Ball reconstruction.
- Trace the saved Notion 7.6.1 preload API through its wrappers to the clipboard receiver. Attribute the separate web-cache module probes to their original harness. Public content uses relative source locations and generic example data; packages and complete captures stay local.
- Add a Showcases index and links from the homepage and JavaScript guide. Simplify homepage copy while preserving the approved headline and closing question.
- Show copyable agent installation prompts and the direct setup command. Keep terminal cursors blinking consistently and respect reduced-motion settings.
- Provide one Notes example ZIP. Generate it from the six public source files before website checks and manual Pages deployment; verify its contents against the source. Pages remains manual-only.
Validation:
- `npm run check:fast`
- `python3 scripts/prepare-website.py` and `python3 scripts/verify-website.py`
- Browser checks at `/` and `/rea/`: downloads, prompt/command copying, responsive layouts, keyboard navigation, reduced motion and DX-Ball comparison controls.
- Published REA 4.1.0 preload analysis and feature traces; source/claim/privacy review.
- Real Hopper/Ghidra verification: not performed (website-only change).
- 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.

- Use a supplied cache for a process only when it serves the process's CPU
family and one of its LC_BUILD_VERSION or LC_VERSION_MIN platforms matches
the cache's platform or alternate platform; slices now report platforms.
A limitation names each root the cache was not used for, and why.
- Treat an image listed in the cache but mapped in a missing or
UUID-mismatched subcache as undetermined, list it in
coverage.unverified_shared_cache_images, and mark coverage partial.
- Keep a cache hit conditional when an earlier candidate is undeterminable.
- Open a development cache's named subcaches beside its base name.
- Describe absolute paths as not evaluated only when no cache is supplied.
- Preflight dyld_info in verify:dyld-shared-cache.

- Treat the target as a bundle only when it was opened from an app bundle
directory (it carries the bundle's Info.plist); a regular Mach-O file whose
name ends in .app is traced from its parent directory.
- Classify a FAT header with zero architecture records as malformed, so it
stays visible in unclassified roots and coverage.
- State that dylib compatibility versions are not compared.

inspect_native_dispatch_metadata read pointer fields as stored bytes, so
chained-fixup images (the default since Xcode 13) decoded no classes, and
superclasses from other images were always unresolved.
- Decode LC_DYLD_CHAINED_FIXUPS pointer formats 64, 64_OFFSET, ARM64E,
ARM64E_USERLAND and ARM64E_USERLAND24 with import formats 1-3, and
interpret LC_DYLD_INFO bind, weak-bind and lazy-bind opcode streams.
- Name external superclasses from their _OBJC_CLASS_$_ binds.
- Decode class_ro_t baseProperties and __objc_catlist category_t records
(instance/class methods, protocols, properties) into objc_categories;
category methods carry their category name.
- Report the fixup encoding in a pointer_fixups coverage facet.
- verify:apple-dispatch builds the fixture with dyld-info and chained
fixups, plus arm64e on Apple silicon.

* style(setup): remove extra test spacing
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.

A file such as Versions/.DS_Store beside the only real version made the
framework look multi-versioned, so its Info.plist became unknown with a
misleading limitation. Version directories are now limited to entries
observed as directories or implied by deeper paths.

macOS 11 and later ship system libraries only inside the dyld shared
cache. trace_dylib_resolution therefore left every /usr/lib and /System
load undetermined, and REA had no way to see what a cache contains.
inspect_dyld_shared_cache (CLI inspect-dyld-shared-cache) reads a cache
file set selected by path, without an open target. Its pure TypeScript
reader parses modern and legacy dyld_cache_header layouts and reports:
- UUID, architecture, platform, OS version, Mac Catalyst alternate,
cache type, shared region, max slide;
- every VM mapping;
- each subcache by file suffix, checked by UUID. A missing or
mismatched subcache makes coverage partial;
- the complete image list.
For each requested install path it reads that image's load commands
through the cache mappings with the existing Mach-O reader.
trace_dylib_resolution accepts an optional shared_cache. Absolute
candidates found in a cache that serves the process's CPU family resolve
with the new outcome and status `shared-cache`. That status also takes
precedence over later in-bundle fallbacks such as a back-deployed
libswiftCore. The result names the cache UUID and OS version it used.
verify:dyld-shared-cache checks every image in the host cache (3,649 on
macOS 26.6), with dependencies and their re-export, weak, upward and
delay-init attributes, against `dyld_info -all_dyld_cache
-linked_dylibs`. It also checks CLI/MCP parity, and that each
shared-cache edge in the fixture trace is a library dyld actually loads.

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.

* fix(artifacts): accept the bundle subject when extracting an app bundle
For a .app target the session target is the bundle's executable, while the
artifact provider reports the bundle itself as the subject. The subject
check exempted inventory_artifact and inspect_artifact but not
extract_artifact, so extracting any .app failed with execution_failure after
the output tree had already been written, and the output path was never
reported.
* refactor(binary): rename artifact bundle subject helper
isArtifactInventorySubject also covers extract_artifact for .app
bundles, so name it for the shared bundle-subject exemption.

* fix(javascript): resolve bare source-map and worker URLs next to the script
A sourceMappingURL like `main.js.map` (the default of webpack, esbuild,
rollup, Vite and rolldown) and `new Worker("worker.js")` were resolved as
module specifiers, so the bare name was looked up as an npm package and the
map or worker script was never linked. Resolve them as URLs relative to the
declaring script.
* fix(javascript): tighten url-reference resolution edge cases
Use looksExternal for non-module contexts so protocol-relative URLs
cannot be misread as root-absolute paths, cover url-reference unit
cases, and assert bare service-worker script resolution.

A ZIP or DMG holding two applications produced bridge candidates from
scripts in one app to native code in the other. Candidates now pair only
components owned by the same application root; components outside every
root pair only with each other.
A versioned framework with several real version directories now keeps
its Info.plist unknown even when only one version has a plist, because
Versions/Current, which is not inventoried, decides which applies.
