Steps To Reproduce
  1. Open Raycast (Beta)
  2. Search for any Tailscale command (e.g. "Tailscale Status", "Connect", etc.)
  3. Try to run the command
  4. See the error: "Missing executable. You might need to reinstall the extension."
Current Behaviour

Launching any Tailscale command in Raycast immediately fails with the error: "Missing executable. You might need to reinstall the extension." The extension is completely non-functional regardless of reinstalling.

Expected Behaviour

Tailscale commands should launch successfully, displaying the current Tailscale network status and allowing the user to connect/disconnect and manage their Tailscale network from Raycast.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure from the Tailscale extension page using the listed commands, including Tailscale Status and Connect. Inspect how those commands locate their executable, then verify that launching them displays network status and supports connect or disconnect without the missing-executable error.
