Motivation

The following changes make IDE 2.x more secure.

Change description

Removed unnecessary environment variable entitlement
The entitlement com.apple.security.cs.allow-dyld-environment-variables has been disabled, as it is not required for normal IDE operation.

Hardened native binary permissions
Theia’s build system bundles native executables with overly permissive file modes (0777) by default (see source).
To mitigate this, the file copy mechanism has been overridden to apply stricter, standard permissions (0755).
