Research direction
The issue names no files or tests; start by reading Apple's App Sandbox documentation linked in the request and reviewing the macOS application bundle configuration. Identify the entitlements needed by Syncthing and verify the application still builds and performs file synchronization under sandboxing. Done means the App Sandbox is enabled without breaking the app's core behavior.
