Expected Behavior

When starting a stream in the system tray with the setting "Show confirmation dialog when starting streams" enabled, OBS should prompt to start the stream.
When stopping recording in the system tray, a confirmation prompt should also show up asking for confirmation.

Current Behavior

While the setting "Show confirmation dialog when starting streams" is enabled, it does not result in a confirmation prompt when starting a stream from the system tray.
This issue also applies to stopping recording, no prompt shows up.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open up settings
  2. In the settings enable "Show confirmation dialog when starting streams" (also stopping recordings if that's being tested)
  3. In the settings, also enable system tray
  4. Click "OK", saving settings and closing the settings dialog
  5. Minimize OBS
  6. Open system tray and start streaming (or stop recording)
Anything else we should know?

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on macOS 12.3 with OBS 27.2.4 using the listed system-tray steps, and inspect the system-tray actions and confirmation-setting handling. Done means starting a stream and stopping recording from the tray both show confirmation prompts when their settings are enabled.
