Description
looks like a recurrence of the symptoms of #175 but with Tahoe 26.5 on a MacBook Pro 2020/Intel (yeah, I know it's old!)
freshly rebuilt machine that's been stable for a week and got around to re-installing Hidden, and two crashes in 24hrs, disabled it again and nothing. not a definitive diagnostic and the macOS crash message isn't that helpful (I have Apple and developer reporting opted-in so hopefully you see something)
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by comparing the reported symptoms with issue #175 and reviewing the available macOS crash report for Tahoe 26.5 on the 2020 Intel MacBook Pro. Confirm whether Hidden is involved by reproducing the crash with it enabled and disabled; done means the cause is identified and the WindowServer crashes no longer recur.
