Description
I've just installed v1.23.0 on Ventura 13.1 (Apple M1 Max). When I open Syncthing.app, nothing appears to happen. This can be disconcerting to new users until they notice the new icon among the status menus.

Research direction
Reproduce the first launch of Syncthing.app on macOS, using the reported Ventura 13.1 and Apple M1 Max context, and inspect how the status-menu icon becomes visible. Define the welcome message and its first-usage trigger, then verify that a new user sees an explanation that the app is running from the status menu.
