Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported regression in Insomnia 13.2.0 on macOS Tahoe with Cloud sync, then compare CPU use, responsiveness, and colors with 13.1. The issue provides no file, test, or entry point, so the investigation must first identify which desktop subsystem changed. Done means the performance and washed-out appearance are resolved without regressing the reported setup.
