Research direction

Start with the Homebrew installation commands and codeedit version reproduction in the issue, then trace the version-status entry point that checks whether CodeEdit.app is installed. Done means the command reports both CodeEditCLI 0.0.9 and CodeEdit.app 0.0.9 after the documented installations.

Description

bug
Description

I am currently seeing this:

brew install --cask codeedit --force --quiet
brew install codeeditapp/formulae/codeedit-cli --force --quiet
codeedit version

CodeEditCLI: 	0.0.9
CodeEdit.app is not installed.

However, CodeEdit.app and the CLI are in fact both installed and both usable.

To Reproduce
brew install --cask codeedit --force --quiet
brew install codeeditapp/formulae/codeedit-cli --force --quiet
codeedit version
Expected Behavior
CodeEditCLI: 	0.0.9
CodeEdit.app    0.0.9
Version Information

CodeEdit: 0.0.9
macOS: 15.4
