Research direction
Start by reproducing the titlebar layout on an Intel Mac running macOS 13 and compare it with the attached screenshot. Trace the desktop app's native titlebar and toolbar layout, then verify that all three controls remain visible, separated from the traffic-light buttons, and clickable without overlap.

Description
Summary
On an Intel Mac running macOS 13, the Codex/ChatGPT desktop app titlebar layout appears broken: the three toolbar controls next to the macOS window controls are visually obscured/crowded and difficult to read or use.
Environment
- OS: macOS 13
- Platform: macOS
- Hardware/chip: Intel Mac
- App: Codex/ChatGPT desktop app after the recent unified desktop update
- App version: unknown / can provide if needed
Current behavior
The titlebar area does not reserve enough clear space for the toolbar controls. In the screenshot, the three controls near the top-left titlebar area appear blocked/covered/crowded.
Expected behavior
The titlebar controls should remain fully visible and clickable, with proper spacing from the native macOS traffic-light window buttons and no overlap/cropping, on Intel Macs running macOS 13.

Possibly related to #29562, but this report is for the Intel Mac titlebar toolbar controls rather than only the login-window traffic-light safe area.
