Description

Since Ventura=>Sonoma upgrade, I cannot override my spotlight key. My other overrides work fine.

```
# does not work in alacritty but does in terminal, for spotlight key:
$ skhd -o
keycode: 0xB1 flags: 00000000100000000000000100000000

$ skhd -V
hotkey :: #164 {
key: '0xB1' (0xb1)
cmd: '$HOME/bin/ct hq:screenshot '
}
hotkey :: #165 {
mod: 'cmd'
key: '0xB1' (0xb1)
cmd: '$HOME/bin/ct hq:screenshot --mark'
}
```
But spotlight key still triggers spotlight field. Did anyone manage to use it with Sonoma?

Research direction

Reproduce the Sonoma behavior using the reported skhd -o and skhd -V output, comparing the spotlight key in Alacritty and Terminal. Trace how skhd handles keycode 0xB1 and macOS Spotlight interception; done means the configured remap takes effect without breaking the other overrides.
