* fix(linux): stop the serve `orca` dispatcher shadowing the screen reader, and remove it with the CLI Headless `orca serve` writes ~/.local/bin/orca so Claude Team's bare `orca` reaches Orca even when a login shell drops Orca's PATH entry. It exec'd the launcher unconditionally, so it sat in front of GNOME's `orca` screen reader for everyone, failed with "No such file or directory" once Orca was uninstalled, and nothing ever removed it. The dispatcher now answers for Orca's own children only (ORCA_CLI_BIN_DIR, ORCA_PANE_KEY or ORCA_USER_DATA_PATH set). Anyone else gets the next `orca` on PATH, skipping itself, with one hop so two dispatchers cannot loop; then this app; then a clear message and exit 127 once the launcher is gone. Existing dispatchers are rewritten on the next serve start. Removing the `orca` command now also removes the dispatcher, and only if it carries Orca's marker. * fix(linux): skip every Orca dispatcher on PATH instead of an env hop guard The hop variable let a second dispatcher earlier on PATH send a screen-reader user's `orca` to Orca, and leaked into the screen reader's environment so its descendants' `orca` could land on Orca too. The PATH scan now skips any candidate carrying the dispatcher marker (as well as itself), so dispatchers cannot hand calls to each other, and the real target runs with nothing added to its environment. * test(linux): Orca's own children reach the screen reader once Orca is gone * fix(linux): Orca's own children get "no longer installed", never the screen reader With ORCA_CLI_BIN_DIR, ORCA_PANE_KEY or ORCA_USER_DATA_PATH set and the launcher gone, the dispatcher now prints the message and exits 127 without scanning PATH, so an agent's `orca …` can never start GNOME's talking screen reader. The PATH scan also ignores relative entries, which depend on the caller's folder. Tests cover each Orca variable, a PATH folder with spaces, empty and relative entries, a symlink to the dispatcher, and an unreadable candidate being run rather than skipped.
