Research direction
Review the files mentioned: src/auto launch.js, src/automatic gc.js, src/utils/setup global shortcut.js. The activate functions are used incorrectly. Check how they are called and compare with expected usage in files like src/enable namesys pubsub.js. Fix the pattern consistently across the repo.
