• Some casks open an Apple app on install or first launch, e.g. typinator opens its tutorial .rtfd in TextEdit, which fails CI with com.apple.TextEdit left running.
• Casks have worked around this with uninstall quit: stanzas for Help Viewer (eaglefiler), Mail (gpg-suite*, mailsteward) and Music (quakenotch). But system apps should not be quit during uninstall.
• A cask shouldn't quit a system app, so treat these like the other Apple apps already in APPLE_LAUNCHJOBS_REGEX.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Apple Help Viewer, Mail, Music, System Events, and System Preferences launch jobs are now correctly excluded from launch-job checks.

The Apple launch-job regex now matches additional Apple job names. The test input includes additional known-running job identifiers.

Changes: Apple launch-job matching

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Expand Apple launch-job matching Library/Homebrew/cask/ci/check.rb, Library/Homebrew/test/cask/ci/check_spec.rb	The regex adds helpviewer, mail, Music, systemevents, and systempreferences. The test adds Help Viewer, Mail, Music, and TextEdit identifiers to the known-running jobs.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~5 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 773cb

Two new Apple job-name exclusions lack regression coverage, so a future regression could bring back CI errors when those jobs remain running. This is a small, bounded test follow-up; the change is otherwise mergeable.

Cover systemevents and systempreferences in the fixture.

The current fixture does not exercise these two existing APPLE_LAUNCHJOBS_REGEX alternatives. Add both identifiers so removing either alternative causes this assertion to fail.

Suggested fix

         "application.com.apple.Safari.123",
+        "application.com.apple.systemevents.123",
+        "application.com.apple.systempreferences.123",
         "application.com.apple.TextEdit.123",
