Description
macOS 10.15 Catalina adds a new “Auto” option under “Appearance”:

`DarkModeListener` logs `dark` and `light` when those options are selected, as expected. When “Auto” is selected, nothing is logged.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the DarkModeListener entry point and the handling of macOS Appearance changes. Reproduce the behavior with “Auto” selected and verify that dark/light transitions are logged as they occur; done means Auto mode produces the expected change notifications instead of no output.
