Description

Describe the bug
Given that the frida bridges are no longer built in, regular frida scripts that use Java or ObjC fail to run. This also fails silently and produces no warning or error message.

To Reproduce

objection -f start -S script.js
// script.js
console.log(Java.available);

Expected behavior
Either fix to include bridge like frida repl or show warning/error.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with objection -f start -S script.js and the shown Java.available script. Trace how objection starts regular Frida scripts when the Java or ObjC bridges are not built in, then verify that scripts either run with the bridge available or produce a warning or error instead of failing silently.
