Description

"Closing" the UI should still allow the app to run in the background in the system tray. If I have automations configured and I accidentally close the app, none of the automations run. To fully close the app, I should be required to right-click on the system tray icon and choose to close it.

Research direction

Reproduce the closing behavior on Windows 10 with the reported app version, checking what happens to the system tray icon and configured automations. Trace the desktop UI close action and tray close action, then verify that closing the UI leaves background automations running while the tray command fully exits the app.
