Research direction

Start by tracing the GUI MCP path that triggers an analysis save and causes Binary Ninja to take focus. Identify the existing UI configuration entry points and the focus-changing operation involved. Done means the UI offers a configuration option and disabling it prevents focus stealing during analysis saves.

Description

Impact: High

What is the feature you'd like to have?
I want a configuration option to disable focus stealing for the UI.

Is your feature request related to a problem?
Whenever you are using the GUI MCP, agent(s) may trigger an analysis save. Binary Ninja steals focus whenever this happens, thus throwing you out of whatever work you were doing on another screen or tab. Not enjoyable.

Are any alternative solutions acceptable?
