The entry's Exec is the built binary's absolute path, so it always launches what was last built -- and moving the build directory breaks it, which is the price of having no install step. An install() rule would make a second copy that can diverge; a documented cp would need the binary on PATH, which it is not. The target writes the entry and both icons under XDG_DATA_HOME, refreshes the desktop and icon caches when the tools are there, and runs desktop-file-validate as a hard failure -- the shell ignores a malformed entry in silence, so the failure belongs at the moment the entry is asked for. It prints the three paths it wrote, which is the uninstall instructions. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
