Description

I'm not sure which is the right approach. It looks like pyinstaller sets it to True, while py2app sets it to 'macosx_app', and py2exe sets it to 'windows_exe' or 'console_exe'.

Research direction

The issue identifies Python's sys.frozen flag and compares PyInstaller, py2app, and py2exe; start by locating where PyOxidizer sets that flag and checking its compatibility expectations. Done means a documented, project-approved value and any corresponding tests, but the payload names no files or tests.
