Bridge 2025 won't start on Mac OS 14

Question

Last night when I tried to use Bridge I got the message "Adobe Bridge 2025 is damaged and can't be opened." I had been using Bridge earlier in the day with no issue. So I uninstalled, using the Creative Cloud app, with the option to preserve preferences etc. Then I reinstalled Bridge. I still get the above message, but I noticed in smaller grey type it also says "This file was downloaded on an unknown date" - I don't remember if that part of the message was in the original alert.

I'm on a 2018 Mac Mini, 3.2 Ghz 6-core Intel i7 with 64 GB of memory, running OS 14.7.1 .

It's looking like I have more serious problems. I noticed some strange behaviour from other apps, so I decided to boot into Recovery Mode and use Disk Utility to check my drive. It reported a partition problem, and said I should back up and, presumably, repartion the drive. Since I'm going to be away til next weekend, it will have to wait until then.
