Research direction

Start by locating the menu and sync screens in the Android app and inspect how their content handles system window insets. Reproduce the issue on a device with a transparent or island-style notification bar, then verify that top content is visible, controls remain clickable, and the notification-bar text has sufficient contrast on both screens.

Sync screen:

(sync toggle is completely unclickable under the notification bar - also note the color mismatch, notification bar has white text on white activity bg)
