…usly Hidden Bar is a menu bar utility with no visible window, so relaunching it silently spawned a second instance instead of switching to the one already running. Guard applicationDidFinishLaunching: if another instance with the same bundle ID is running, activate it and terminate the new one.

What & Why
Hidden Bar is a menu bar utility with no visible window, so launching it a second time silently spawns a duplicate instance instead of switching to the one already running. That leaves two identical status bar items and two preference windows — confusing and wasteful.
This adds an early guard in
applicationDidFinishLaunching:NSWorkspace.shared.runningApplicationsfor another instance with the same bundle ID (excluding the current process).Changes
hidden/AppDelegate.swift:ensureSingleInstance()guard + call inapplicationDidFinishLaunching(16 lines added, one file).Testing
swiftc -parse.Closes the intent of #376 (which was withdrawn — it targeted the stale
masterbranch and lacked the actual code change).
