Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Reproduce the failure on macOS and trace the handling of images opened by double-clicking rather than through File > Open. Done means supported image files open correctly when clicked in Finder; the linked Reddit discussion may provide additional context.
