Activity Monitor crashes on launch with SIGKILL "Code Signature Invalid" — survives full macOS reinstall, dyld_process_snapshot_get_shared_cache failed

Hi all — looking for insight on a stubborn Activity Monitor crash on macOS 26.4.1 (25E253) that has me stumped after a full system reinstall.

Symptoms

Activity Monitor crashes immediately on every launch, regardless of method (Spotlight, Launchpad, Finder, open command). The icon appears in the Dock for ~28ms and vanishes. No error dialog. Reproducible 100%.

Have you filed a bug on this and, if so, what's the bug number?
