Description

Autostart Syncthing works great on my three other macOS machines.
Now I bought a new MBP M3, which uses macOS Sonoma, forcibly.

I always get the Syncthing icon with exclamation mark, and it says "Running (offline)"
and the API entry is colored red. Syncing works fine, it is just the amenity of the bundle
that is not working.

Assuming something unexpected was changed in Sonoma...

Research direction

Start by comparing the ApiKey defaults with config.xml on macOS Sonoma, then trace the autodetection and user-notification paths for the offline API state. Done means the bundle detects a configuration mismatch and clearly notifies the user while normal syncing continues.
