Subject: [PATCH 1/5] refactor(tests): Simplify resource field assertion in PE
 integration test

- Updated the assertion for the resources field in the PE integration test to clarify that it may be None for minimal binaries, such as those compiled without resource files.
- Removed redundant checks to streamline the test logic while maintaining clarity in the comments.

This change enhances the readability of the test and ensures accurate expectations regarding resource availability in PE binaries.

Subject: [PATCH 2/5] refactor(macho): Normalize section weights for Mach-O
 format

- Updated the section weight calculations in the Mach-O parser to use a normalized scale (0.0-1.0) for consistency with other formats.
- Adjusted weights for various section types, including string data, read-only data, and code sections, to better reflect their likelihood of containing meaningful strings.
- Enhanced section classification to include additional Objective-C related sections.
- Added unit tests to validate the new weight calculations and classifications.

This refactor improves the accuracy of string extraction from Mach-O binaries, aligning it with the established standards for ELF and PE formats.

Subject: [PATCH 3/5] feat(macho): Add load command string extraction for
 Mach-O binaries

- Introduced a new module for extracting load command strings from Mach-O binaries, including library dependency paths and runtime search paths.
- Enhanced the `Tag` enum with new variants for `DylibPath`, `Rpath`, `RpathVariable`, and `FrameworkPath` to support the new extraction functionality.
- Updated the extraction module documentation with usage examples and detailed descriptions of the extraction process.
- Added integration tests to validate the load command extraction functionality against a Mach-O fixture.

This feature improves the ability to analyze Mach-O binaries by enabling the extraction of meaningful load command strings, which are crucial for understanding library dependencies and runtime behavior.

Subject: [PATCH 4/5] feat(tests): Enhance Mach-O load command extraction tests

- Added helper functions for extracting and sorting dylib paths, rpaths, and framework paths from load command strings.
- Updated assertions in the Mach-O integration tests to verify the presence of exports and ensure correct tagging of load command strings.
- Introduced snapshot tests for load command string extraction, providing a detailed breakdown of dylib paths, rpaths, and framework paths.
- Enhanced documentation in the fixtures README to clarify the purpose and expected contents of the `test_binary_macho` fixture.

These improvements strengthen the testing framework for Mach-O binaries, ensuring comprehensive validation of load command extraction and classification.

+### Mach-O Load Commands
+
+Mach-O load command string extraction tests work cross-platform because they operate on binary data. The `test_binary_macho` fixture is an ARM64 binary but can be parsed on any platform using goblin.
+
+**Load commands tested:**
+
+- **LC_LOAD_DYLIB**: Library dependency paths (e.g., `/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib`)
+- **LC_LOAD_WEAK_DYLIB**: Weak library dependencies
+- **LC_REEXPORT_DYLIB**: Re-exported libraries
+- **LC_RPATH**: Runtime search paths (may contain @-variables like `@rpath`, `@executable_path`, `@loader_path`)
+
+The fixture should contain at least `libSystem.B.dylib` as a dependency (standard for all Mach-O executables). Framework paths and rpath variables are tested using the classification logic, even if the specific fixture doesn't contain them.

-- `test_binary_macho` - ARM64 Mach-O binary (contains typical load commands including LC_LOAD_DYLIB for system library dependencies like libSystem.B.dylib, potentially LC_RPATH commands, and framework dependencies if any frameworks are linked)
+- `test_binary_macho` - ARM64 Mach-O binary with standard load commands:
+  - LC_LOAD_DYLIB for system library dependencies (e.g., libSystem.B.dylib)
+  - May include LC_RPATH commands
+  - May include framework dependencies
 - `test_binary_pe.exe` - x86-64 PE binary
 - `test_binary_with_resources.exe` - x86-64 PE binary with VERSIONINFO and STRINGTABLE resources
