Summary

Linux demo detection in BridgeLauncher only accepts exact basename "Hopper", so launcher variants (symlinks/wrappers/paths) with a valid demoHelperPath are not recognized.

Evidence

src/hopper/BridgeLauncher.ts:191-192:
- basename(options.launcherPath) === "Hopper"
- options.demoHelperPath !== undefined
Demo behavior path is selected only when usesLinuxDemo is true, which gates special launch args.

Impact

In environments where Hopper is invoked via wrapper path or symlink, REA may miss the intended demo-mode launch path and alter session behavior.
