Description

Full Disk Access is granted, yet every reboot, I have to manually relaunch BlockBlock, which isn't trivial either - I have to toggle "No Icon Mode" to get the BlockBlock menubar icon to appear. I'm probably doing something wrong, but I have no idea what...

Research direction

Start by reproducing the startup failure after reboot with BlockBlock 2.1.5 on macOS 13.2, confirming that Full Disk Access is granted and that relaunching or toggling No Icon Mode restores the menubar state. Trace the startup and activation path responsible for launching BlockBlock; done means it starts and displays its expected status after reboot without manual relaunching.
