Fix Guide: Tahoe Safari Web Extensions Not Loading

Symptom: Your installed Safari extensions (AdBlockers, Password Managers) are enabled in settings but don't appear in the toolbar or function on macOS Tahoe.

Why this happens

Tahoe's "Sandboxing" service for web extensions can lose communication with the Safari binary after a system update.
