Hey,

Research direction
Start by reading AltDaemon/XPCConnectionHandler.swift around line 80 and the linked code revision. Confirm how bundle identifiers are used for XPC validation and identify what stronger validation is expected; the issue provides no acceptance criteria or test location, so completion cannot be determined from the report alone.
