Start by reproducing the repeated corruption warning in Positron 1.90.0 (Universal) on Darwin arm64 23.5. The report names no source file, test, or reproduction beyond the warning, so trace the installation-integrity check from that symptom. Done should be a confirmed cause and a fix that prevents the warning for a valid installation.
