Fixes issue ByteBard97#1 — build fails without additional headers, and plugin fails to load in Illustrator 2026 with "Plugin issues detected". **Build fixes:** - setup-sdk.sh: guard trash call on fresh checkout (plugin/sdk/ may not exist yet, causing unconditional trash to error and abort) - IllustratorSDK.h: add 10 missing SDK headers needed by HandleManager and SuitePointers (AIContext, AIUser, AIUndo, AIMdMemory, AIMenu, AIMask, AITool, AIArtboard, AIDictionary, AIEntry) **Plugin load fixes:** - Info.plist / Info.plist.in: change CFBundlePackageType from ARPI to BNDL; remove CFBundleSignature and LSRequiresCarbon — all working Illustrator plugins use BNDL, and LSRequiresCarbon is a 32-bit Carbon-era key that modern macOS ignores or rejects - CMakeLists.txt: update PkgInfo content from ARPIART5 to BNDL???? to match the new bundle type - Plugin.cpp: make AINotifier suite acquisition non-fatal — a failure caused the plugin to return an error and trigger an infinite reload loop in Illustrator; plugin now continues without notifications if the suite is unavailable; all AddNotifier calls are guarded for null - HttpServer.cpp: bind to 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost — on modern macOS localhost can resolve to ::1 (IPv6 only), causing connections to 127.0.0.1:8080 to fail even when the server is running Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
