Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Begin by reviewing the Sunshine UI and how permissions are detected on macOS, Linux, and Windows; define the permission states and platform coverage before implementation. Done means the UI clearly shows relevant permission status for the listed platform-specific cases.
