Research direction

Investigate the gesture handling code in MTMR, particularly how volume and brightness gestures are implemented. Look at the Touch Bar interaction logic in the repository's Swift files (e.g., GestureHandler.swift or similar). Check if there are any known incompatibilities with macOS 10.15.7. Reproduce the issue to confirm the behavior and identify where the touch bar stops responding after the gesture.
