Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the memory growth in the macOS desktop app during a long run and use the project's available profiling or diagnostic guidance to identify the leaking subsystem. Done means a sustained run no longer grows toward exhausting system memory, with a regression test or documented verification where the project supports it.
