Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating the code that launches the first analysis and researching the platform APIs for preventing sleep, including the macOS behavior noted in the report. Done means the computer remains awake while that analysis runs, with behavior clarified for Windows and Linux and whether the feature is enabled by default.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

What is the feature you'd like to have?
Preventing the PC from sleeping while the first analysis is running, even worth enabling it by default, as I don't think there's any scenario where the user wouldn't want this.

Is your feature request related to a problem?
Not really.

Are any alternative solutions acceptable?
The user could disable sleep on their computer, but that'd be impractical.

Additional Information:
I don't know how it works on Windows and Linux, but macOS has an API for this, and Activity Monitor shows the status in the "Preventing Sleep" column
