First, kded5 probably ought to be built as a non-app-bundle agent (https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/126170/ and the associated https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/126161/; kdeinit5/klauncher should probably also *not* be run independently by each and every standalone application that needs them?!).

In standalone app bundle builds this could of course also be handled by amending `PATH` as the very first thing when starting up, or even before that by using a wrapper script as the `BundleExec`.

For the bundle dir, see my response below, for kded5: actually, thou shall not use it on mac nor windows.
