Description

Some time after restarting the app, I notice a constant 15% CPU usage while idle. Can you help me figure out what might be taking up the CPU?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the report after restarting the macOS app and observing its idle CPU usage over several hours. The issue provides no files, tests, or entry points, so the initial investigation must identify which app component is consuming the reported 15% CPU. Done means the cause is isolated and the idle CPU usage is resolved or clearly documented.
