"Install helper" popup reoccurs every time I start a blocking session #914

Description

@bneken

Summary

The installer must be installed every time I start a blocking session. I think it's because the installer needs to be blessed with SMJoBless, which it doesn't

Background Info

SelfControl version: v4.0.2
macOS version: 15.6.1 (24G90)
Do you use a VPN/proxy, and if so which one?: No
Has this ever worked for you on a prior version of SelfControl? If so, when?: I installed it recently so no
Any other special system setup we should know about?: no

How Do We Reproduce This Issue?

Delete the helper, start a new block with the newest macOS, install the helper, close SelfControl, see if the "install helper" popup shows up this time.

What Should Have Happened?

If it worked, you wouldn't have to install it again. There would be no "install helper" popup

What Actually Happened Instead?

The install helper popup showed up, needing my password to install itself, even though it's already installed.
