Bug description
in the latest Quicksilver, the default action for everything, even applications, is "Calculate". The rank for "Run" is 1 and the rank for "Calculate" is set to 4, so it's definitely jumping priority for some reason.
Steps to reproduce
- open quickilver
- start typing an application, e.g. "texted"
- See TextEdit pop up with "Calculate"
Expected behavior
Calculate should only show for numeric expressions
MacOS Version
macOS 13

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Quicksilver on macOS 13 with the Calculator plugin enabled, then compare the default action ranking for an application such as TextEdit with Calculator disabled. Start by tracing the Calculator plugin and the action-ranking entry points; done means applications and nonnumeric text default to Run, while numeric expressions can still default to Calculate.
