Recommended action: Add NSAppleEventsUsageDescription to the launching app's Info.plist so macOS prompts; grant in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Automation; if mapping is broken reinstall the host app properly (tccutil reset AppleEvents alone may not help).
Option: Make macOS prompt and grant Automation [evidence: maintainer_confirmed_cause]
Applies when: see problem
Steps:
1. Add NSAppleEventsUsageDescription to Info.plist of the launching app
2. Re-run to get the prompt; approve under Privacy & Security > Automation
Expected: osascript can control target app
