Issue
Launching Hyper briefly opens a terminal window and the attached error message. When OK is clicked, both error and terminal window close. Hyper remains running but no windows can be created.
I noticed the error message only occurs when Little Snitch intercepts the call to hyper.is on application launch. When Little Snitch is turned off a window silently opens then immediately closes.

Research direction
Reproduce the launch flow on macOS with Little Snitch intercepting the call to hyper.is, using the Hyper.app version and system details reported here. Investigate the launch path around that call and verify that a terminal window can be created and remains open without the error dialog.
