Description
What are you trying to do?
When I try to use Hex on my company laptop it fails because Caffeinate is blocked by company policies.
What would help?
Settings toggle to disable sleeping prevention for use cases where caffeinate is blocked. I'm open and willing to create that fix myself.

Research direction
Start by locating the settings implementation and the existing Caffeinate usage in the Rust macOS application. Add a user-controllable option to disable sleeping prevention and verify that prevention is skipped when it is off, including the blocked-Caffeinate use case.
