Fix the two reasons the packaged app would not open

[dallasbpeters]

v0.0.1 aborted before drawing a window. The first cause was hiding the second.

1. CFBundleName broke helper resolution

CFBundleName was overridden to "RoleModel Studio". Electron resolves its helper apps from CFBundleName, and electron-builder names them after productName — so they ship as Openscreen Helper.app while Electron went looking for RoleModel Studio Helper.app:

FATAL:electron/shell/app/electron_main_delegate_mac.mm:65] Unable to find helper app

Exit 133 (SIGTRAP), one line of output, no crash report. Our own cask comments describe this exact failure in the note explaining why there's no binary stanza — reached a different way here.

Nothing is lost by leaving CFBundleName alone:

what a person sees	where it comes from
menu bar	app.setName(PRODUCT_NAME) at module scope in main.ts
Finder, Dock, About, permission prompts	CFBundleDisplayName, unchanged

2. activate fires before ready

With that fixed the app got further and threw:

The 'screen' module can't be used before the app 'ready' event
    at createHudOverlayWindow → createWindow → showMainWindow

app.on("activate") called showMainWindow() with no readiness guard — and activate can arrive before whenReady, which is exactly what the open-file handler twelve lines above already guards against:

if (app.isReady()) openProjectPath(filePath);
else pendingOpenPath = filePath;

The window it builds measures the primary display, so the throw takes the main process down. Ignoring an early activate costs nothing: whenReady builds the window anyway, and macOS re-sends activate on a dock click.

How this was mis-diagnosed twice

Worth recording, because both wrong turns were plausible:

1. Hardened runtime. The release was flags=0x10002(adhoc,runtime); the working dev build is 0x20002(adhoc,linker-signed). Re-signing without hardened runtime changed nothing — the codesign_util error was incidental noise at ERROR level, not the fatal.
2. A silent single-instance quit. Direct runs exited 0 with no output, which looked like requestSingleInstanceLock() returning false. It was this shell exporting ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1 — the binary was running as node and reading empty stdin. The real error only appeared with that unset.

Verified locally: patching CFBundleName in the installed bundle and re-signing cleared the FATAL and produced the screen error, which is how the second bug was found.
