Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved app launch shim resolution so commands can still work when the active linked folder does not expose the binary directly.
  • Added fallback handling that checks the original installation location before using a general command lookup, reducing missing-command issues.
• Tests
  • Added coverage for shim resolution behavior, including fallback to the original directory and error-free handling when a target cannot be found.

Walkthrough

The PR adds a resolve_shim_target helper function in lib/install.ps1 that centralizes shim target resolution, searching rooted/relative candidates in current and original directories before falling back to Get-Command. create_shims and install_app are updated to pass and use original_dir. Tests are added.

A shim once lost, now finds its way,
Through original dirs it hops all day,
Get-Command waits if all else fails,
Tests confirm the fallback trails,
Hop, resolve, and land just right! 🥕
