# Standalone launcher app baked in by `make install` of CPython's framework
# build. Its Mach-O carries the configure-time `--enable-framework` prefix
# (e.g. /Users/runner/work/python-build/.../Python.framework/Versions/X.Y/
# Python) as a hardcoded load command, so it can't dyld-load anywhere
# except the original build host. When the produced xcframework lands
# inside a host .app's Contents/Frameworks/, macOS LaunchServices scans
# nested .app bundles and tries to launch this one — every scan produces
# a "Python quit unexpectedly" dialog. It's never useful for the embedded
# Python use case (libdart_bridge dlopens the framework binary directly,
# the host app supplies the NSApplication context), so strip it here.
