Make macOS Settings sidebar tabs reliably clickable on macOS 15 #219
Description
Upstream report: kitlangton#99
The report's follow-up reproduces unclickable Settings tabs on Scrawl 0.3.13 / macOS 15.7.5 and attributes it to a zero-duration long-press handler: perform runs but selection in onPressingChanged does not. A plain Button reportedly fixes that user's installation.
Apparent still uses this gesture structure in helper/Settings.swift for sidebar selection. This is an inherited risk, not yet a reproduced Apparent failure.
Expected behavior: normal pointer clicks and accessibility activation select every Settings pane on supported macOS versions. Preserve current styling, avoid pane overlap/flicker, and cancel shortcut recording when changing panes.
Acceptance: reproduce and verify in an installed candidate on macOS 15 and a current supported macOS version. Exercise every pane, rapid switching, and accessibility activation. Use a reliable control or event path rather than depending on the particular upstream implementation. No UI framework migration is required.

November 4 upstream/community triage: P2 (medium). Additional community patch: m3ki@a33177f moves selection from onPressingChanged to perform. Current Apparent capture/desktop/native/Settings.swift retains the reported callback pattern. This is source evidence, not a reproduced Apparent failure.
Apply current AGENTS.md when implementing: the earlier body statement that no UI framework migration is required is superseded by the current migrate-what-you-touch requirement. Include the smallest coherent Settings workflow slice in Electron/React/TypeScript, preserving routing/fallback and focused Mac input proof. Completed-capture trackpad taps are tracked separately in #552.
