Research direction
Start with the Register Machines Find action and the typed-path entry, which accept any executable matching a code name, and with the job-script check added in 9.1.0 that refuses the screen reader. The proposal needs a per-code identity probe, such as running orca --version or reading the program banner, plus a Check button that reports what was found. Done means Find and the typed path reject a wrong binary and the button shows the identity. The payload names no files, and the maintainers have already planned this for 9.2.0.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Register Machines (Find, and a typed path) accepts any executable whose name matches the code. On one machine the path 'orca' resolved to /usr/bin/orca, the GNOME screen reader, so a job started the screen reader instead of ORCA. Since 9.1.0 the job script refuses that particular file with a message, but the general gap remains.
Proposal: check each code's identity with a harmless command (for example orca --version, or the program's banner) in Find, plus a Check button next to the path that reports what was found.
Planned for 9.2.0.
