  2. Wait ~4 minutes (or use normally)
  3. App crashes

Expected behavior

Additional context

Disabling Beta Updates in System Settings did not immediately resolve the issue since the OS remains on 26.4.1. The crash appears related to Electron's V8 engine behavior under the macOS 26 beta environment.
