Steps to reproduce
Not sure.
Expected behavior

Actual behavior
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3bec7393-4469-4d56-ab0b-615ff4892026
Opening a new conversation resulted in opening a conversation returning working as state but then giving a black window of the main content. Restarting it then resulted in following error with the response redicated here:

Research direction
Start in apps/desktop by reproducing the failure on the reported macOS environment and locating the relevant application logs for the black window and initialization error. Confirm the behavior around opening a new conversation and sending a prompt; done means the conversation opens normally and the prompt can be sent without the error.
