## Native UI
AppKit owns the window chrome, search field, inset table selection, application icons, buttons, menus, fonts, and semantic colors. Appearance follows macOS light/dark settings; no custom-painted Raycast skin or third-party UI dependencies.
The launcher now follows the Raycast reference: a 750 × 474-point, titlebar-free dark panel with rounded corners, native translucency and shadow, a large borderless search field, compact icon rows, neutral rounded selection, right-aligned application labels, and a bottom-right launch pill with a Return key hint. It deliberately uses dark appearance for this initial visual direction.
AppKit still provides text editing, table navigation, scrolling, application icons, controls, menus, fonts, semantic colors, and visual-effect materials. Custom styling is limited to layout, rounded surfaces, and selection drawing; increased-contrast settings add a selection outline. No third-party UI dependencies, copied Raycast branding, or nonfunctional Actions menu.
