Adds macOS Spotlight Shortcuts: one row per entry in each user's Spotlight shortcuts file.

  • Typed text, display name, URL and last used time for each entry
  • All four file locations under Library/Application Support and Library/Group Containers, including the v3 file
  • Other keys kept as stored; a file captured twice through System/Volumes/Data is read once

The UserShortcuts dictionary older macOS kept in com.apple.spotlight.plist is not read.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Reads the Spotlight shortcuts property list in each home folder at the
four locations under Library/Application Support and
Library/Group Containers/group.com.apple.spotlight, one row per entry:
the text the entry is keyed by, DISPLAY_NAME, URL and LAST_USED. Any
other key of an entry is kept as stored. A file captured twice through
System/Volumes/Data is read once.

Tested on the public MacBook Pro logical extraction (6 entries);
dleapp_macos_bigsur and the four Windows images hold no such file.
