Research direction
Reproduce the freeze on macOS arm64 with Binary Ninja 5.4.9701-dev using the named database, then change the NSIS_STRING user type from char to TCHAR. No source file or test is identified in the report, so begin by locating the user-type editing path and capture a minimal reproduction. Done means the type change completes without locking up.
