-/** Native `<select>` styling override for web mode.
+/** Normalize `<select>` chrome across web and desktop webviews.
  *
- * macOS WebKit and Linux Chromium render native select chrome differently
- * from each other and from Tauri's webview. Apply this `style` plus a
- * matching className to keep `<select>` elements consistent across web /
- * desktop. In Tauri (desktop), returns `undefined` so the native chrome
- * is preserved.
+ * Native macOS Aqua chrome (Tauri's WKWebView on older macOS, e.g.
+ * 15.x Sequoia) renders select controls as heavy Aqua-style buttons that
+ * clash with the rest of the flat UI. Apple's newer macOS releases ship
+ * a flatter native chrome, but we can't rely on that across user OS
+ * versions. Stripping native chrome with `appearance: none` and applying
+ * a matching custom arrow gives a single consistent rendering everywhere.
