This looks right. I never used winit but in a native AppKit app it's the activation policy.

Issues
Fixes #3499
Description
Prevents the Harper Desktop highlighter helper from appearing as a second macOS app.
The highlighter runs in a child process with its own winit event loop. On macOS, that made the helper process show up separately in the Dock/app switcher with the default minimal app menu. This updates the highlighter event-loop setup to use macOS accessory activation policy and disables the default highlighter process menu, while leaving the main Harper Desktop app behavior unchanged.
