Research direction

The report names no source file, test, or entry point; begin by reproducing the failure with the linked IPA on iOS 12.5.6 and tracing the “Failed to unhide archs in executable” path. Done means identifying and fixing the sideloading failure, then confirming the IPA installs without that error.
