Existing registration from a previous install is dropped and added again rather than left untouched. pluginkit -a doesn't work when the identifier is already registered, which can leave a stale UUID/path cached in the PlugInKit database after the appex on disk has been replaced by a newer build (e.g. installing over an existing client), causing the FinderSyncBroker to fail to spawn. So the result is a not working Finder extension. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5 Signed-off-by: Camila Ayres <hello@camilasan.com>

Broken Finder extension when installing a new client over a legacy client.
