Description

Big Sur build 20A5395g prevents Hyper from opening. The application starts, and the following lines are logged in syslog.

default	23:16:30.784627-0500	Hyper Helper	LSExceptions shared instance invalidated for timeout.
default	23:16:34.579866-0500	Hyper	LSExceptions shared instance invalidated for timeout.

The app then hangs, and a window never opens.

Research direction

Reproduce the failure on macOS Big Sur build 20A5395g and inspect the reported syslog lines for Hyper and Hyper Helper. The investigation is complete when Hyper opens a window instead of hanging; the issue does not name a file, test, or entry point to start from.
